paint looks a little burnt up like mine :(. I need a clean hood and fender. i had my chance a couple of times but didnt have the money

[mkcman17]

Gotta remember its dusty at the yard, so what may look burnt could polish up. Can't remember for sure though.

you should have pickdup the bumper...could have flipped it for a profit if they let it go for a good price

[mkcman17]

$52 ea. There was an AWII with clean plastic bumpers too that I almost bought.

nvm. you actually could sell it for more but i wouldnt pay 52 unless i needed it. We got a valance and a front bumper at the sun valley yard for 40

[mkcman17]

Exactly.

I pulled a t3 tarbo today too, but they wanted mucho deniro for it.

Is it as easy as i think? because i've been thinking about doing this

[///digitalme]

to be honest its super easy from a scale from 1 to 10 id give it a 4
it just takes a little time putting everything back right i had to stretch the vynil
a little more....and i have no experience whatsoever...
although i have worked with foam before at highend motorcycle seat company..
thats where they made me a custom made shift boot...
i didnt want to buy a new seat since its hard to get the vynil in good condition i just took a part one at the junkyard in like 10 mins...
theres not much holding it i have more pictures if you guys are interested

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

im in for more pictures. i ask because i sometimes see sport seats in black in that condition and dont know if its worth it to pick up bolsters and do this. Specially since i see blue sport seats most often

[///digitalme]

Definitely worth it specially since passenger and drivers seat are the same it won't matter what bolster you get they are all the same. The one I got from a passenger seat
I'll upload more pictures if the process. Asked a local shop and they wanted 50 to install it I was like how hard can it be?

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

i know what you mean. I've taken a sport seat apart and it was easy. did you use the same old hog rings? or did you use new ones?
