BayArea510 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Inspection was a breeze, in fact they did not even check all lights functioned properly, it was more of a quick walk around and the staff guy admiring and complimenting La Gloria. So I was glad to get my Cali plates and registration without any hassles. Next up I was tired of looking at the exposed wires and huge gap hole on the center console from not having a stereo. I went to the Flea Market looking for a stereo deck. It was nice of the PO (FFZ) to leave behind the 5 1/2 and 6x9 Pioneer speakers. Picked up a sweet JVC detach face deck with CD player, USB and Aux ports yet another bargain $40 bucks. Went back home and hooked up my deck! Time for some beats! Quote Link to comment

BayArea510 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Also picked up a Grant steering wheel from a Ratsun member. Could not find an adapter locally so I bought found one on Jegs.com. My mirror was crumbling like a cookie so I picked up a Wink 5 panel rear view mirror also from Jegs.com Quote Link to comment

BayArea510 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Back to my Integra front seats. So after much thinking I decided not to reinstall the "now clean" stock seat covers. I would end up with a black stock rear seat and light gray front seats. I decided now it would be the time to re-upholster the rear bench and the Integra seats to a matching set. Called around a couple of shops and they all were about $500-800. That's a pretty huge setback, so the next best thing..."Homemade Upholstery" I wanted something different and went to a couple of different fabric stores. i found an interesting print at a discounted price. The fabric has a suede burnt leather feel and the color appears a burnt orange. So I decided to buy the roll. Then I found some Marine Black vinyl at a JoAnns store. I envisioned a two tone seat cover. So far I have finished one front head rest and the second is close to finished. Lately I have not had much time to use my sewing skills. I am in a bit of a stand still as other more important things have come up (rebuilding my Silverado's tranny) along with being a dad and spending time with my baby girl! Here is the latest progress and at a stand still until I wrap up my Tranny rebuild . Quote Link to comment
FireFighterZach Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wow man I'm glad to see it has gone to a good home, I hope you find that it was some dumb issue why it wouldn't run. Can't wait to see the end product Quote Link to comment
