from pakistan with love.

ordered these seat covers from interior innovations last sunday. showed up today. my first impression is very good, but i will follow up when i get them installed. it is amazing to me that i can order a part, it gets delivered to my door from halfway around the world, nice quality, but it takes twice as long to get something from somewhere i can drive to in a day.

I also ordered some seat covers and they came from Pakistan.  I was amazed when they showed up in like 4-5 days.  The ad on EBay said they would do different color stitching, the picture in the advertisement had gold.  In the comment section I asked if I could get silver.  I got no response so my expectations that they would come in w/silver stitching was very low but they did.  I'm very happy with them!  I also stitched in an inflatable lumbar "bag" that I purchased through MSA, I'm glad I did it!

not much going on, waiting on parts. got the rear glass tinted and installed, along with the stainless trim and rear spoiler. the spoiler was a bit of a challenge. the side that contacts the deck is not flat, so with only 2 mounting bolts, it would rock back and forth. i solved that by applying a few dime sized spots of body seam-sealer and actually glued the spoiler to the hatch. no movement at all now, and any water can flow out under the spoiler and hatch
 ordered a carpet kit from z specialties, and have a few more items coming from msa, then i should have everything for the interior. also got the speakers and amp from crutchfield yesterday.
 life is good

i also found a distributor cap with brass terminals at napa

Oooh you bought those new interior plastic panels, will be very interested to hear what you have to say about them, re fit and finish.

Granny, i test-fit a couple of them and they seem to fit well. i think i need the carpet kit in before installing the plastic. i will post as i get everything installed.

Maybe the rotor cap is 180degrees off?  Is it the right one?

i figured out the problem there. when i pulled the distributor apart to grease the centrifugal advance, i installed the part the rotor sits on 180* off. very easy to do
