Looks tidy, like. :agree:
Period GT Tuning seat lifters :D
What ya mean gt tunning seat lifters,they no good.
Not at all. Just saying I espied them in one of the photos. They are period and you don't see many around. I assume they haven't been available to buy new for some time.
As regards whether they are any good in terms of styling/taste, it's each to their own. :agree:
That is true each to there own, to be honest I was not and still am not sure about them, but they came with the seats so thought will see if I get used to seeing them in my car,if not off they go.
Getting ready to take engine out
Where did you get the seats from? I used to have a raider years ago and I had my seats and door cards done exactly the same. Looking good :agree: hopefully getting my pearly white resprayed this winter and back to it`s best.
I brought the seats from a guy who had a baby blue r5 and was stripping it for parts,next yr ul have a nice fresh pearl then
Engine is now out and the bay is getting prepared for a respray, also will be starting engine soon,uprated cam and few other goodies

I'm doing it myself as have played about spraying many years ago, but this year when I had the funds I sent it off to have a full respray and it came bk not to a good standard at all, I was gutted and still am that I waisted all that money, so decided to give it a go and it payed off as looks pretty good, sorry I can't help as to wear to get ya 5 sprayed
