Found the seats in a junkyard for $50 I believe. Dave (HrdRockA4305) thought I was crazy when I showed him the car I pulled them out of. Pretty much a camaro that was crunched into about 3 feet worth of car. We got them out though,minus some blood and body panel smashing though.

The engine was bad. People would just look over and shake their heads when they heard it. One lady said "Is your car going to die?" Nasty idle on that.

He's not kidding about the blood part. Whoever looked in that car next probably thought it was from whoever was in the car during the wreck I can't beleive i didn't get some kinda infection from that.... standing water in the bottom of the car on open cuts is proabbly asking for it. I can't beleive you dragged me outa bed (literally him and joe walked into my room and grabbed my feet) to go down there! Oh well, its a fun story. Where the hell you been lately? BTW - You gotta find that tape of me n you racing, Brett can rip it to his computer, he's got a capture card. Then we can post it on here.

Hey man, I think black Dave has that tape somewhere. I also want the tape of me kicking Travis's ***. May need it when he starts beating me!! LOL

You know I do crazy stuff when it comes to cars. Remember I'm the guy who stayed up to 5:30 am stripping my car and priming it when I had work at 8 am!!!

So whats the news on your beast(s)??? Any interest on the 'maro?

Camrs89,
Were those seats cloth or leather?
I was planning on using the same color scheme on some 4th gen seats, but in tweed. I might do leather now, just dont know! I take a long time making decisions about my car

Hey Vic-How is that car going???

The seats are cloth seats. Really comfortable, I dont care for leather. Made the red interior more desirable looking by a ton

the 86 is moving rather slowly, this cold weather is to much of a burden, with any luck it will be running by oct (my personal goal date)..........the body will be a different story, but thankfully there is no rust on the car

I always said I was gonna have the fastest thirdgen of us!! now I'm on my way.........having the fasest 305 really doesn't prove much.....LOL
