Looking good there Jim. Cant wait until the bedrails are done. I was trying to get to sleep last night but I kept on thinking what I wanted to do, to my 620.

Thanks Larry, It's finally starting to look like I want. A little more sanding and it will be ready for primer. I'm also working the dents out at the same time. Did you forget about the Jeep shirt I wanted?

Later, Jim.

Thanks, It's not going as fast as I would like. but I'm not a body man or rich enough to pay one, so I take my time and work at it till it looks good. :cool:

Thank you, I try hard, but between my back problems, and lack of experience, it takes me a while. :cool:

that bed turned out really good... and those seat look great to almost exactly like 96 altima seats but yours have more adjustments... very nice

Progress has been slow, too much going on, but here are some pics of what it looks like now.

 

 

Interior painted.

 

 

Dash and steering wheel finally finished, Wheelskin leather cover laced on with "baseball" stitch.

 

 

Also if anyone is interested, the nice seats with all the adjustments are from a Mazda 6 coupe, unfortunetly I didn't get the year, but they are very supportive and comfortable. :D

Thanks for the props, I'm slow, but at least it looks half way decent when I'm done. The bars are both Addco, from a guy on Ebay. if you buy both at once, he will cut you a better deal, I think I saved around $50 or 60. :cool:

Sorry for no updates for so long, I haven't done much for a while, because of trying to get things sorted out on the Lexus, and many problems. It is missing the EGR system, and one cat, so it will not pass smog. Seems that the JDM cars had no EGR, and I can't find domestic 2JZDTE intake and exhaust manifolds and related parts to put it on. The previous owner will not help in any way, so I'm going to have to take him to court, since the seller is responsible for smog in CO.

 

The 620 got rear ended last Friday on the way to work, so I'm going to have to start over on the tailgate. Luckily the tailgate is the only thing damaged, so it could have been worse, but still depressing as it takes me forever to do bodywork, I wish I was better at it! I will post progress photos and damage pics as well as soon as I can get them uploaded.

 

Sometimes I think if it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any at all! :(

Finally, some progress pics.

 

Making new door panels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now just have to cover them, and replace the fuzzies next to the windows.:P

[]2eDeYe]

That looks good. I like that your keeping the upper pieces. You don't see those to often.

 

Sucks about the tailgate though...

I'm finally going to try and get back to work on my KC, going to reduce my projects so I can finish the ones that mean the most to me. :thumbup:

[Farmer]

It's been a long time. About as long as promising a tee shirt

[goes2fast]

Way too long for both! :rofl:

[]2eDeYe]

I want a t-shirt :P
