Not sure of amount of material. I have been told of a place locally that did a pair of SVO seats like grey GT seats with red piping for $400. Might investigate that.

That's awesome Marshall...with all the parts you've collected and a freshen up on the paint and body, that car is gonna be amazing! What paint work is getting done...just the engine bay (which is something I wish I could have done with mine...it really looks terrible)?
Cheers!

I finally got a chance to go over to Mike's to drop off some parts and to check out the paint that he had laid down. WOW!!!!!! I was blown away. The attention to detail that Mike puts forth is VERY HIGH CALIBER!!!!!
TURBO!!!!
A small pile of stuff to be installed to include 11" rotors, Eibach front springs with urethane isolators (rears already in place). I dropped off an 86 exhaust manifold, urethane end link kit, urethane steering rack bushings, fuel rail with injectors, fuel regulator (chads84svo has been instrumental in getting parts to the assembly place...... Many thanx.

Looks like a clean car from the beginning and getting better every post. I always had a weak spot for those cars.
Is that turbo a direct replacement? Where did you get it, and what was it worth?
Its looking like its coming together nicely!

As mentioned before, the used MM cc plates I had picked up were damaged but my buddy took them back with no issues. Mike (at6svo) did some work today on the 20th. Installed the new Maximum Motorsports cc plates. More pics to follow soon.

I love the look that those MM CC plates give inside the engine bay. Pair that with a MM strut tower brace and the engine bay will look killer. It will look killer without the strut brace, but I just like those two items together from MM.

Started media blasting the serpentine pulleys.
Will be ordering some Eastwood Company's 2K Aero spray paint that has nano-ceramic in it. $30 per can. I'm thinking a nice gloss black might work in the white engine bay.

I have the 850 which allows me to do most of what I need. Anything bigger, like rear ends, I have to send out to a buddies shop. You need a 5 hp air compressor minimum to run a media blaster for any extended period of time. I have had mine for over 15 years and with the exception of the plastic protective sheets and nozzle inserts, the unit has been trouble free. I run plastic, walnut shells, and glass depending on what I need to clean.
If your serious about restoration, you have to have a bead blast cabinet!
