So this is coming back from the dead. I’m tired of watching this poor car sit and collect dust. I’m probably going to be buried in this thing… I want to get a full exhaust for this thing. Most likely it will have to be completely custom from front to back because anything regarding headers for this thing… yeah forget it… the rest is all pre canned and OVER FN PRICED!

Exhaust… I want it… one that doesn;t tick or leak… yeah, that 'd be nice. Anyone know a guy that knows a guy that can build me some headers/up pipe/downpipe/catback for the GN?

Speaking of bringing things back to life… I need new seat foam installed into my drivers seat bottom… it’s pretty much disintegrated down to the frame and I don’t want to ruin the seat covers because they’re made out of unobtanium.

Can anyone get seat foam and install it or install a seat foam that I purchase?

Doing seats is a cake walk as long as you have hog rings and hog ring pliers. If you want I could give you a hand when you wanna tackle it.

That would be awesome! It’s been bugging the shit outta me! I’m probably going to finally focus on the gn and actually make out better and finish it up.

Just lemme know if you want a hand. Tearing down seats is mainly what I did for a year at Toyota replacing airbags.

Got some more work done on the electric fan today. Got some cleanup work to do but nothing major. After this I think maybe a limited slip differential and then a teardown for this winter so I can clean up the motor and engine bay. Hell, I might even spring for some body work!
