Can we see some interior pics?i'm curious to see how the houndstooth turned out.

The interior is not completed yet, but it will look something like this:



Houndstooth fabric on
- Front seat inserts
- Rear seats inserts (top and bottom)
- Rear top quarter
- Parcel shelf bottom

Very, very nice. RSA Cloth sports seats?

Do you have a quick pic of the parcel shelf bottom? I like that idea.

Im still debating cloth vs leather. It also depends on what condition sport seats I will find. Im planning to complete rear parcel shelf fairly soon. Will update with pics.

Cloth vs leather, looks aside, is a question of grip. The reason for cloth fronts on sport seats is because you don't slide around in the seat. It makes a HUGE difference. When I redid mine, they had been all cloth front, and I made the change to all leather with cloth centers...sort of best of both worlds...more durable bolsters and grippy centers.

When you aren't sliding around in your seat, you don't use your grip on the wheel, or your shoulders, or your feet planted on the floor to keep your body from moving in hard corners. Leaves you relaxed and able to use the pedals and steer the car with a light touch.

Therefore, if that's the point, all leather isn't really the way to go. But if the "function" of the seat and material isn't primary...then all good...

Fabric centres were always the choice. I should have clarified, Im undecided about the side bolsters.

Moving very slow...

Like seeing views we don't often get too see... please share the findings of those wet spots when you get there and keep the great pics coming.

Run in to a problem removing the exhaust/heat exchangers. None of my sockets fits in there. Is there a method to it?

You will need similar tools to these:

For the 13mm exhaust nuts

For the 8mm barrel hex nuts.

Loving the pics! But I gotta ask if there's a reason why you didn't de-grease before dis assembly? I wouldn't be able to stand it!
