Another disappointing weekend. Weather has rained off doing the springs and also the well needed inside and out clean of the car :(
On a positive note, my leather armrest came yesterday morning and after a little bit fabric adhesive it was fitted and it looks good, so much so that I have made an enquiry to a local re trimmers about getting my seats trimmed in leather to go for the full VIP interior look (I've heard good things about this company from Famine so I'll just see what they say).
Actually, I was down there last week - they repaired a leather seat (one of Marvin's suede/leather jobs) for me :lol:

The repair was £48 - basically the cost of a single panel.

Cheers, just needs a little more stretching and a little better fitting and it will look better.
Now my quest goes on to find more leatherness goodies and to see how much a re trim would be or possibly if I could fit some MX5 leather seats in :D

im sure you can get full lether fixed head rest mx3 seats and would look realy good too

Mmm hmm and I know what Famine said about the significance of the flame badge but I was getting sick of people thinking it was a Hyundai :roll: (plus I think the flame badge looks cheap).
-
Also might be a bit pointless seeing as I'm thinking of selling up, but I'm getting these seats off my friend in a couple of months

very nice seat would look very good in your mx

It's an old pic before his dog had a chew on one of them. Don't think I'll be selling them as they can be put in any car :P

Dogs are good at that, mine chewed my drivers seat in my van while i was paying for fuel, couldn't work out what people were laughing at until i opened the door to get in.

Well it looks like the old girl has survived again, I haven't heard anything about the Celica so I've turned my plans back to the MX3. It still hasn't been lowered and I think I won't be doing it now for some time due to the time of year and the furious amount of overtime I'm putting in at work.
So the plans for the new year:
I'll be getting the seats as I said previously and also giving the whole interior a fresh look; Carpets, door cards, rear seats, and new front seats, roof lining and grey plastics will all be getting dyed black using fabric dye and black paint (it's gonna be dark in there!).
Lowering will be done at some point as will the negative camber and this will leave me wanting a new set of shiney dished wheels and also a nice new paint job (getting the bodywork sorted out at the same time)- I'm thinking a nice pearl white.
So guys (and girls) you can breathe a sigh of relief as I will be staying for a while (and I'll get onto my mate about the site stickers too).
