SMALL update. Think I have a buyer for some expensive rims I have from another vehicle so that should pay off the rest of this 'phase' of the build.

Picked up some front seats from a Sidekick this weekend at a u-pull junkyard for $20/each. They are much more comfortable then the stock flat Tracker seats and the adjustable headrests make it that much better. Going to recover them in black with red inserts sine I already have enough 'Marine' vinyl left from other projects to do it.

1 of the seats on the left, photoshop of what I'm doing on the right.


Seats I did with the same vinyl for a customer. I'm not doing piping on my seats.

That is a SWEET job on the seats! Do you do this for a living? I'd LOVE to change the fabric on my Corbeu sport seats, they are covered in a black soft cloth that attracts dirt and lint like a magnet. I have to keep a cheap seat cover over them and that sucks and makes them hard to keep clean.

I had training for trim/upholstery at WyoTech in 06 and I worked at an upholstery shop from 09-10. Not a ton of experience but enough to get by and look good. I'm doing the Tracker seats for more experience/warm up before I do the seats in my escortZX2. They'll be black pleather with suede inserts with double stitch diamond pleats.

I have some Corbeau seats I'll be recovering. Be my first 'race' style seats. I'll let you know how it goes.

WOOT! FJT replied to my email and said my rods are in route to them and they should be shipped to me later this week or early next week. Just purchased ACL race bearings for the rods, Clevite thrust bearings, Sealed Power main bearings, and a new oil pump. Think a gasket set should be all I need now minus tubing for the intercooler and treating the crankshaft when its done.

Looking for polished piping for the 'bling' factor  ;)


Yummmmm... can't wait till they're in! Have to take to the machine shop to check/possibly clearance the block!
