These guys have a wide variety of designs to choose from. Looking to get fabric for my seat inserts from them too

 

Holger, with that 4.0 at your disposal, I would have assumed you had gotten to that impression much faster than "slowly".

 

This. The attention to this build is inspiring. Keep up the great work!

 

I'm amazed how much work you are doing yourself. Absolutely impressive and incredible.

 

Just started from page/post 1, hadn’t caught up in years. It’s almost impossible to find a SHOP, capable of such quality work…let alone a dude in his garage with the car on jackstands.

mind blowing build.

 

You guys are very kind. Inspires me to find the time (amidst all the other distractions) to get back on this full swing.

 

Every time I drop in on this thread, I can hear my wife say..."I could've done so much better" and I think to myself...yeah, 100%. I thought I was pretty decent with a wrench but now...

 

On today's episode of "let's tear stuff apart"...

 

Have you ever torn something apart, then unable to put it back together again? I mean, take any of your projects, I would chicken out before even starting. Are you learning as you go ( ie re doing a perfectly good RS wheel) or have you done all this stuff before? Killer thread and project!

 

Ooohhhh. Interested to see how this turns out. I have the same exact seats and will be recovering them eventually. Love this.

 

Haven't found myself in a position to not be able to put something back together but after I took apart the seats last night, I did give some serious thought as to whether I've bitten off a little too much with making my own seat covers for it.

It's not a matter of the know-how or ability (I can sew and have upholstery/leather-working experience which goes back 20yrs. I'm just concerned as to whether I can pull this off w/ the two sew machines I have. Some of the velcro bits and other strapping is really damn thick, including sewing through plastic bits (you can kind of see what I'm talking about in the top left corner of that second photo I posted). My machines may laugh at me. We'll see. Perhaps time to upgrade.

 

This project is so impressive given the DIY aspect. Makes my RSD snafu pale in comparison. Feel like a monkey f-ing a football

 

what an image!

 

Haha, indeed

 

So happy to see you picking up this thread - it’s been an inspiration. Maybe I missed it, but I haven’t seen anything on gluing down sound-proofing or carpeting yet. Have you done any of that?
