    Lucky for you. My mom tried sewing a hole in a pair of pants and sewed the legs together.

      I'm sure she is good at other things?


      Well, got the hounds tooth in. Not the prettiest, and I'll need to clean them up a little more, but it is what it is. Much better than before. I did find a condom wrapper in the donor hounds car. I had no such luck when I pull the calypso's back seat.




      Lunch time










      I think I'm going to find a steam cleaner to take to those seats. I think that would do the trick of getting them clean. I've sprayed them down and vacuumed them just so they aren't super dirty, but they need more.

            ^I'm guessing he got them with the used interior.

            I think you should go show the PO what it looks like a week later. They will offer you double to buy it back I bet. (Don't do it though)

                I pulled some from the yard. I have two extras now if you want them. I can put up a photo.They just bolt into the seat.

                haha I've thought about it. He got a different car and didn't know what this was, so I don't think he would really notice anything. He was kinda an oblivious person.

                  Looks awesome!! I love the cigarette butts all over. Even when I smoked I took better care of my shit. Anyway, here's what the rockers and lower valence look like with the 3M stuff. Pardon the dirt.

                    Did you see the e30 on my insta that was coated in ashes? it was terrible.

                    That photos is kinda deceiving. I'm guessing it looks black and nonexistent is because the black rocker blends in with the ground?

                        I love calypso, very difficult to find with clearcoat still intact.
                        And def steam clean your recently acquired houndstooth (just take it easy on 'em as 25 year cloth needs to be caressed)

                        Do yo thang booboo

                              That would be amazing!




                              Tonight I just worked on the spoiler. Sanded it down, cleaned it, removed studs, and premiered it.













                              Tomorrow I'll get the spoiler painted and attached, rocker panels resprayed, the antenna removed and plugged, seat bolster fixed, and front brakes done.
