Thanks, guys I guess I need to start making templates of everything I`m cutting out in case I might want to sell one of these one day. Mike

No updates, I pretty much worked all weekend and I need to wait until I get a new radio to cut out the faceplate for the dash. Hopefullly in the next two weeks I will get my carpet and start installing everything in the car. I still need to build the back 1/2 of the console and cover it.

I have been working it seems all of the time so I haven`t had any time to work on it. I did cut out a piece of metal that I painted black to put inside the instrument pod where the instruments go. I am going to recover my door panels and put a couple of accents in them but I have been waiting on my seat covers to come in to see what shade the red is, but if you read that other post about my seat covers you probably have seen that the deal fell through. I also have to order some more vinyl for the panel behind the seats and for my door panels. I`m thinking about buying an upholstery sewing machine and just do the seats and any other sewing on upholstery that I might need. I`m going to Texas Motor Speedway next weekend and after that I should be able to get back on track.

Cool, sounds exiting. Sorry that that deal with the seats fell through. I know I myself was very exited about seats with increased side bolsters (Evo,Sti,Srt-4,Viper,Lambo style) that aren't just stuffed cotton with ducktape. C'est la vie.
Thanks for keeping this thread updated and remember to take pictures along the way. *we love pictures* ~ You're going to be my inspiration.
If you know how to sew upholstery, yea, totally get the machine. I'm sure it'll pay for itself, and it's more fun to do it yourself.

Yes, I`m going to build the center console similar to the stock one going all the way back to cover the ecm but I haven`t been able to measure for it because I have been so busy. Today I have basically nothing to do and it`s cold (well by Texas standards) and rainy. I have no garage I may run down to Home Depot to get the stuff I need to paint and mount the defroster vent grille.
