ripped_fear Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Another productive day, the cage is now 100% fitted, could do with a clean again now though but may aswell wait till I finish the rest of the interior bits. Boot carpet, and both boot trims had to be trimmed to get it all fitted back to its original state. Very happy though Also popped a couple of LED reverse bulbs into it as one had blown, old vs new pic below Now on to the next job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 So I was never going to be happy with the arm rests I trimmed ages ago, so pulled the lot off and started again, this time all good! Also re did the centre console too. Have dipped the seat trims for now as a temporary measure too before I get ordering from Mr T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nice to see someone going all in with a NA. I didn't realise you could use the led for the reverse. I thought they were just conventional bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys. Done a few more little bits today, finished the edges of the arm rests and have now fitted them. Also while I was behind the door card I changed all the screws in the home made speaker brackets as they were rattling all of a sudden. Much better now, the old ones where not really man enough, and after 3+ years they were no longer doing their job. Also fitted all the Black dipped bolt covers for the seats, be interesting to see how hard wearing the dip is, but they look very OEM which Im happy about. 3rd job was deciding to scrap the leatherette on the sub enclosure already, I looked junk so going to skim it, fist layer has been applied now to start the sanding. Finally I have removed all the dash panels ready to wiring the sub and amp in, and have also taken the OEM clock out ready for it to replaced with the White one. Just waiting for the White filter to go behind the clear screen I have put in a spare clock. Also while Im behind there I need to give the AC buttons some attention. Thats about it for today, other than giving it a quick wipe over as its very dusty and sticking the battery on charge to see if it is goosed or just dead. Got the car booked in for the 24th at the body shop, Will be having the sideskirts repaired and re-painted and picking up the parts I dropped of before Christmas, so will have some more engine bay bits Also going to be having a chat about a few upcoming projects for later in the year. Few pictures. And just to add, a list of bits I'm after if anyone can help. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?318899-List-of-9-OEM-and-after-market-parts-needed&p=3991681#post3991681 Edited February 15, 2015 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks James. How's your car going haven't seen much on here about it recently. Yeah I'd considered that too. Let me know how you get on it if you do. Word of warning the quality of the leather is nice but fitment is Dodgey. Took a lot of fiddling to get right.

ripped_fear Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Cheers guys took alot of faffing to get them right. So as planned I have removed the skirts today ready for paint, dropping them to paint next monday and will collect them at the end of the week. No more Crack! and will be ditching the TRD decals too as they were only there to take your eye of the damage. Also fitted a couple of fancy jubilee clips I purchased from the NEC, other than that i have just given it a wipe down as I'm waiting on a delivery now of bits.
