Hey guys, i finally got new seat covers for my car.

I went to the junkyard asked the guy how much for a whole set of seats he said $225. So i got the grand idea to take the covers ff the seats and leave the foam in theyard, the whole set soon became $20. Awesome stuff.


Now i have a full black interior setup.... So cool guys, sooooo cool....

Pics tomorow, or when i find my camera, it still packed from me moving.

how did you go about taking the covers off?

 

sliced em into tiny peices n taped em back toghether.. jm

nice job tho nota bad idea ima have to keep that in mine lol

 

just take some plies and undo all the hog pins and they come right off.

There are a few bolts for the hardware on them but a 13mm socket gets those done.

and nice pair of vice grips helps in one other part, i didn;t bring the vice grips, i just had some regualr high torque pliers that helped me out.

 

i'm gonna have to remember that!

 

yup!!!!!!!!!!

 

dont worry if they are wet or whatever, cause since its just the covers you can put them in the washer like i did so they are squeeky clean now. And that old water smell is gona after i put some snuggle in the wash.

 

Lol, you even outdo me when thinking out this creative stuff. Have you mounted them yet?

 

How you going to mount them? Hog rings?

 

yeah they've been in for a few months now guys, i'll go grab some pics tomorow i guess.... its too dark outside....

the rear seat covers even though i paid $20 for them, i threw them away.... but the two frotns are perfect....

 

If you took my covers off my perfectly good seats...I'd have to kick your a%^&...hehe
I bet they love you at that yard
Later

hehe they noticed once i got to the counter, but he couldn't tlel me, go put them back the way they were... so he sold them to me....

 

i had a somewhat similar incident. i ran across what seemed to be a once stright 91-92 T/A-GTA and it had a superb dash pad, asked the counter guy what he wanted for it , i paid right then. when i walked out with it i turned it around so he couldnt say anything and i had myself a $10 perfect dash pad!!!

 

What the heck are High Torque Pliers??..LOL

But im glad to see you finally finished a project on here shane ....

Now if you could only get a pic of it .....

Or

Get the other 1,098,897 projects youve started finished finally ...

 

thats a crazy idea i never thought of that, but when i recovered my seats i had a hell of a time gettin the covers off. but i can see why you did it 225 is kinda steep i usauall get them for 100 bucks

 

I hate to say it but I think Shane has finally had an intelligent post.

When we're bored, me and my friend do a search on the boards for 'Shane' just for a laugh.

I was sorely disappointed this time.

 

Hi-torque pliers, really needed for seat work too.

 

nah, i had some really long handled pliers, that i gripped the one screw that normally needs an allen wrench, except i didn't bring one, stupid me, so i used them, vice grips would abeen better...


i'll get pics tomorow guys, i brought the camera with me to work and never even remembered why, when it was too dark i had remembered but it was too dark....

 

Just a tip guys ,Be extremely careful when putting the seat covers in the washer.I had a nice set of 87 fiero gt seat covers I got from a yard the car had a sunroof and must have had years of sun they felt somewhat dry but I threw them in the wash to get the stains out and the washer ripped them up pretty bad.

 

mine stayed in tact soo.... i wouldn't know

 

Wow Shane,
20 posts on one of your threads and no one is flamin' you yet..
I think you've finally done it.
Great idea. Can't wait to see dem pics.

 

Wait for it.

I will request pics of the engines, intakes et al that I've had to read about though. Would put to rest some of the bs flags that have gone up.

So Mikey, did you swap all the plastics too or are you talking carpet and seat covers only.

 

So you raided the seat covers...that is just down right nasty dude but then so's 2 bills for seats:yourock:

 

sorry guys, i have a really bad memory, i'll just show you pics of them seat covers them selves, that i guess will hold you off until i get new ones...


well only one you can actually see the darn seat covers i didn't realize that the pics i took before were too dark so....heres one...

 

okay shane youve officially done it now im confused
which is it did you already put them on your car a few months back or did you just get them???

 

Shut up, he finished a project, don't discourage it even if he doesn't make sense!!!!! !!!

 

thats an old pic, way long time ago....




shane

 

but it doesnt make sense that he just posted about this now not 3 months ago when it popped into his brain....LOL

I am however proud of him for finally completeing something ....kind of like when my kid comes home from school with a good grade on her paper makes ya all warm and fuzzy inside but this isnt quite the same feeling its more of Its about time

 

too bad this was origanlly posted back in november....

 

Oops my bad i guess i should have looked at the date a little closer but when there is a new thread each day that gets posted about your projects its kind of hard to keep them seperated....

Is this the first one that has been completed in the last month ??

 

nah they are just slowly getting done....

I did the CAI after that also if you remember....


I Should be gettign ym Headling done tomorow, after i get out of watching Meet the faukers...



Shane
