Looking great - almost completed

[ugly1]

thats just a prep coat before main coat  then the laquer and then the hard bit of a god dam good polish 

 

but cheers anyway 

 

bit to hot today to do anything  

tried a bit but as soon as i spray it dry's mid air 

so will wait till it cools down a little 

[Gambit]

2nd that been roasting here. Not that i'm complaining :) 

[Miggs]

yup same here, too warm for doing owt at all

[Jay762]

loving the heat me - just like in Florida couple of years ago :P

[ugly1]

tinted back windows today and also sprayed back wheel hubs and inner arch's

 

 

[Gambit]

I like windows tinted think it makes cars look so much better. Nice job 

[Miggs]

I'vealways said iI'd tint my rear windows on all my cars but I've never done it as every car I've seen other than a subie just doesn't look right, I think subie with the rears tinted look like an sti import, and black on white is just sexy, I wanna paint mine white now

[ugly1]

just been to pick these up 

nissan skyline gts seats  £30  

 

[Miggs]

Nice, good price too

[ugly1]

ok maybe a daft question to some, but i have never had a scooby before

these seats i just bought 

can i remove the seat rails from my scooby and put them on the new seats , so they will fit 

as i know just by looking at them they wont fit deffo 

[Miggs]

Not sure you can remove the subframes off the subie seats and have no idea what soever bout the others sorry, you might have to fabricate something, see if there's part of the subie frame you can cut of and same with the others and swap em over via a welder

[Gambit]

Not sure myself I've only ever swapped Subaru seats for Subaru seats :( (like for like)

[ugly1]

well i just been having a mess around with the skyline seats and the rails are built on, cant remove em

so it looks like either a welder and make some thing to add on to fit em  or sell em on and forget that idea

cheers anyway guys

If it comes out looking like what's in the picture with the decals it'll look awsome. I like that mean scooby look. Are you prepping the body to keep the cost down ?

[Miggs]

If you do knock the Nissan seats on the head and want to get some impreza seats, the classics have firmer seat bolsters than later types but later seats have better patterns, you could get sti seats and dye the red bits white

[Gambit]

:( worth a shot at the cost though 

[ugly1]

Exup1000  i doing everything prep work and spray  job

 

a mate just messaged me on facebook  saying he has a Subaru wrx full interior for sale

gonna have a look tomorrow

[Gambit]

One door closes and all that :)

[Exup1000]
