Official Adam95gt Pictorial Progress of Swap / Clean Up

[Adam95GT]

Chris picked up a awesome flare tool. Also just wanted to thank him again if it wasnt for his help id know nothing about cars...

Picked up hunsaker syncro 2 seats for $200 (new but defiantly been sat in around the house and need a little tlc) See my poll and vote on what seats to keep.

Little fade might clean up looks like just from dust or dirty hair actually:

Seam needs a little re stitch

Fabric needs pushed back on harness cut out

Yet they are never mounted:

Came with new sliders with stickers even... lol

I only have one set of brackets and the sliders will have to be modified to get the seats nice and low.


You cant see any of the problems just by looking at the seats you need to find them lol.

Started gringing the hole out bigger... paint didnt like it and started to pull from the panel... Dremmel sanded it down at an angle to reduce paint peel.

Heres what im talking about... had to clean up the "Bubble"

I need a better idea for the stripping around the hole... any ideas i was going to use 1/4'' sliced vac hose.

Its a tight fit right now i need to go bigger yet... depending on what i use for stripping

Tomorrow. no one was home to sign for the oil pan/ dipstick last week.

So i should have the new oil pump and pan and everything in.

Talked to George at Accufab he said my headers will be out mid april.

I sold 2 sets of seats. The procars and matrix's im going to clean up the hunsakers and use them i really like them seats

I also need to build a Rear seat delete.

The fittings came for the brake lines so i can start bending and working on them as well




School wise:
Continuing to work on my research.
Just got my letter saying my application for graduation is approved! so i just need to finish out the semester then get a job to start paying back my 107k of student loans. only took me 5 years to get my Analytical chemistry B.S.

I was thinking about it actually lol...


Well today i started by helping chris get some more parts off the rx7.

then i tried to clean up the hunsakers a little bit since im keeping them

started like this...

This stuff is awesome!:

Got it to this:

And now it looks mint!:

The new pan and dipstick arrived! thanks hollywood!

Also still had some new gaskets from the huge bag pokageek gave me about 3 years ago!

The new pump i put in when i built the engine 2 years ago.

it was too tall and hit the pan.. caused all sorts of problems so instead of messing around with the pan i got a stock style pump and pan.

put the new pump in... had a brain fart on the oil pump shaft then i figured the clip had to face up as to stop the shaft from pulling out of the pump and going for a swim in the oil pan...

SO pump... pan and everything back together and i moved the rack up to get the rods strait with how low i sit:

Had some clearance problems with the mount... fixed it by shifting the engine a tad:

Then i got started on a template for the RSD.

decent day overall

 

[Pokageek]

Keep the progress going.

 

[Adam95GT]

Procars are sold... ill be welding the hunsaker sliders strait to the brackets they should be super solid seats

 

[Adam95GT]

Thanks guys. I just want the handle if you guys can spare it.

 

[Adam95GT]

Well not alot of pictures but i got alot done... Lots of cutting and grinding i got the hunsaker pass seat mounted:

I took the drivers seat to a upholstery shop to get the stitching looked at they wanted $75 to fix it... im on the fence i might just try to fix it my self... Sewing is like welding but for women.

I finished clearance-ing the hole for the intake and lined it with hose techniques 3/16 vac line... stuck it on there with weather stripping adhesive.

Gotta do some homework ill stop back later.

 

[revhead347]

Thanks guys. I just want the handle if you guys can spare it.

Just send me a PM with your info. Pay the shipping and it's yours. You might want to wait and see if Adam finds his first though, so you don't have to pay double shipping.
