Those turned out nice! I've been thinking about going down the same route. I'm having a hard time cracking open the wallet for new Recaros when I'm likely going to have them recovered along with the rear seat.

I Like it!
 
I noticed this thread earlier today (during my morning break @/from work). So when my day ended, I stayed & read through every post. I love the patina look so this thing is extremely appealing. Killer work so far!

Yeah and after spending hours on my back climbing under the car 1000's times I thought maybe those quotes didn't sound so bad! lol but now that it's pretty much done I am glad I tackled this myself. Plus learning to weld better while I am at it is a plus.

Thanks, Although for the money it wouldn't be too much more to go new. I am not totally happy with the upholstery work but it will do for now.

These Recaros are much better looking than the old ones. GREAT build. I see some of these :trophy-1302: in your future !!!

Flash68 04-16-2017 11:04 AM

Great build. Love it. :thumbsup:

Love the build, the wheels were a great choice!

Where did you source the tail pipe hangers from?

I too am planning on building my own SS exhaust. I recently bought a chop saw jig to mount my portable band saw in.

Kevin congratulations on the new addition to the Family. Not sure what I am going to do when my girls go off to college in the next few years.

ps hang a baby swing in your garage and it will keep them happy for hours while you are out working on your car. Just make sure every time you walk by it you give it a little push.

At the end of last year we were gifted with our 2nd child so we've been busy enjoying our little family. But that's ok, I still get to make some time for the car during naps and after bed time.

Unfortunately I don't have an impressive amount of progress to show, and I am sure I am missing something but I'll post some random pictures.

Nice! I used a porta band with the verticle base from swag offroad. The hangers were all bought from summit. The ones by the x pipe are a stainless works piece, the rods are magnaflow and small isolators are pypes. Good luck with your exhaust, just take your time and you'll be fine!

Thank you Marty, he's gonna be my future helping hand I hope... I've been keeping the kiddos clear of the garage for a little while with the stainless welding but they both seem to love hanging out there atleast for now.
