messaging stock seats

no this isnt a question....its something i did....im bored so i figure ill post about it.

i took a older Homedics messaging pad thing (kind you put in a chair) anyways...i sliced it up...took the 5 messagers out of it...took the heating pad out of it......ripped the stock seat covers off my seats.....cut 5 rectangles into the foam to house the lil vobrator things and slapped the heating pad in there....extended a few wires....put the seat covers back on ...hooked it up to a small 30 dollar ac/dc converter (purchased last summer from a crack head in the NAPA parking lot for 5 dollars) i must admit my profound love for zip ties. i stress....i use zip ties...like crazy....the stock metal ring staples or wtf ever they are called, just got thrown the hell away, i wasnt about to muster those suckers back into the seat covers....not when i have zip ties!!! (fuel lines are ran with zip ties i might add) anyways....i now have a nice lil lexus tyoe stock seat .....i was bored, ive been waiting for my fuel pump to arrive since i sent it back 2 weeks ago ...leaked into the actual coils into the path of electricity.

so since then i ripped out my entire interior....literally....re wired everything...cleaned the ever living hell out of every seat...pulled the carpet....sprayed it down with 3 cans of SEMS vinyl/carpet dye. 8 bucks a can ...*** awful expensive) ...it could use half a can more just to soak down into the bottom of the threads in some areas....but over all its 99% beter than how my carpet WAS. so for 24 bucks i have decent carpet again.

still no fuel pump, ive been up literally 24 solid hours working with minimal breaks getting everything re wired and putting the interior back in.....Note: interior comes out a lot easier than it goes in.

next project: Fiberglass headliner,,,,,,sell both sets of rims that i have...buy some neeper syncro's and adapters.....sand...primer, and paint my car....uhm....think thats about it....might slap a TPI on for a week since i have one sitting around....i wouldnt mind the torque ...im happier with my carb though. anyways....i fugure someone might read this and go *hey thats not ahalf bad idea* or....everyone will read it and laugh....but ill be the one in a nice warm cozy seat getting a message driving, laughing. heheh. No the passenger seat did NOT get a nice upgrade.....passengers **** me off anyways.
