ahh i knew ive seen a jez on here somewhere. seen you a few times on joondalup drive..

and i reckon that arsehole copper was just jealous of your lady friend, haha.

@landscribble.....come to think of it now James (10 4) did mention you ages ago in one of our random car related chats.....and yeah I often drop and pick my sister from uni so that would explain it.

Update:

Work roster is hectic (lots of people on leave at the same time - slackers!!) and coupled by the fact that I am saving for the rims now car stuff has been put on the back burner sadly.

Did however pick these up yesterday (enough of struggling with miniscule rachets)......and plan to spend a couple of hours on my days off scrubbing my current rims till they are squeaky clean !!

[jez NF]

Not a lot has happenend........................

Had a squeaky clutch pedal......................two sprays of WD40 and that was nipped in the bud.

Went down to Barbs this morning with the lads.........lovely sunny day and some nice rides.

Doing some touch up paintwork this arvo......window wipers getting a touch up and the rear bar corner.

In other news.............I might be getting a bucket seat soon.............................

You are really paranoid of overspray arent you

[jez NF]

Hahaa........how could you tell

[Jeremy93]

Car looks shmick man. Spotted you last week sometime on Connolly drive

[jez NF]

^^^^^

Today is seat day.....

First up....I highly recommend a GTR seat.....works wonders.....I am so snug in it now its not funny.....its comfortable yet firm....holds you amazingly well yet is easy to get into and out of....and yeah bolts straight in so no dramas.....fifteen mins and I was done (with the fitting it in I mean)

HOWEVER.........................................being anywhere between 15 to 20 years old these things can get a bit "rugged, tired, worn" etc.

Started off with something like this..............(didnt take a picture so stole one off the internet)

Took the old seat out (remembered to take off the seatbelt sensor plug)

Then "attempted" to put the old leather covers on..............

For those of you who have seen a GTR and a GTST seat you will know that while they are similar in design the top bit is totally different.....the GTST having a separate head rest.

Time for some innovation...

There was no way I was going to leave it like this.........................so I put on my thinking cap and called in backup

[jez NF]

Does this ring a bell........................

My car is called "Night Fury" and for those who have not seen "How to train your dragon" this is what its named after

Well so did a little bit of this....................................

and then "backup" did a little bit of this....................

and then I did a little bit of this...................

and then a bit of this.....................

[jez NF]

A BIG THANK YOU..............because you are amazing !!

This is how its going to be for now.......................before I put in some big bright yellow and black eyes sometime tmrw possibly.

Will post finished pics when I am done

[Manuel Kasko]

Hahaha shit yeah cool idea man!

[jez NF]

^^^^^^^ I would say so myself...hahahaa...and

Made the eyes this morning............

Then glued them to a leather backing that I carefully cut to the same size......put bits of velcro on the back and hey presto...we have ourself some eyes.

[jez NF]

Pic of what it looks like...yes its a little "kiddie" but i feel it lightens the mood and is a nice personal touch...so yeah.

[Tech#39]

Ok....im working on something and the bloody front grill clips are a pain in the ass Feel like just wrenching it off

Also....................I am painting the bootlid badge...and its looking good Pics to follow soon

Grille clips are easy, just push em in gently with a flathead screwdriver. One side of clip, pull grille slightly, other side, pops out.
