I bought the car in 2003 and finished building it in 2006. I rushed it and just settled for certain parts. Nice parts, but the cheaper versions, such as Baer Brakes 11" kit when I knew all along I wanted the big, 6-piston kit. Or I had leather Corbeau's which were very nice seats, but I knew I wanted Recaro's. I just didn't want to spend the extra money and was never really happy with the car. Stuff like that is what led me to a 2nd build and to build the car right this time. As the saying goes, I wished I had built it right the first time. Most definately would have been cheaper. But, I was new to the game of building cars and unknowledgeable about alot of things. Still not a pro, but I've learned alot since then. This 2nd rebuild started in 2010 and should have been finished as I put it in the shop for a simple LS & T56 Magnum upgrade. Now, look what has happened..... :pushbutto

Good to see the progress Marcus.

Sorry guys, I'm not trying to give you single, small updates here and there, but I'm jumping thru the roof with this one. I finally got my Recaro buckets seats today. :ups: I got them from J.J. Custom Interior. With that being said, the quality is great. I had to wait a little longer than expected, but I'm really satisfied with the quality and craftsmanship. They are 100% leather. I chose the diamond pattern on the inserts to kind of keep an old school vibe going on with the interior. I plan to incorporate the diamond pattern into the center of the Fesler door panels as well. I'd also, like to take this time to give a very big thank you to Raj (canrc). Raj played a mediator in me getting my seats....long story. He took time out of his day on several occassions to check on my seats and made sure I got them. Again Raj, I cannot thank you enough.

Nothing good these days comes quickly it seems. :)

That diamond pattern looks cool on there. I like where you're going with that.

And it's always nice to see a fellow LG'er help someone else out in a different area with something. :thumbsup:

Those look awesome Marcus, absolutely beautiful! Glad I could help, I know how frustrating it can be! Glad it all worked out in the end.

Yeah, Raj is good with helping people w seats! I have first hand experience...:secret:

Top notch Marcus! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys!! Yeah Ron, there's no way I could have done it without Raj. There were times I couldn't get a return phone call and Raj made sure that call got returned.

Loving the seats. :ups: Nice to see something different. :D

Waiting on some more updates :popcorn2:

Nice place to park your butt Marcus!


I like the design.... Good job!

Thanks guys!! Glad you like them. I wasn't too sure about the diamond pattern at first and decided to step out on a limb. I know I'm not the first to do it, but I was sort of hesitant.
