sorry for the crappy cell pics to the batteries were dead in my camera

[youngmoney]

[timmysvert]

they're exel rims not sure of the name. i needed something and picked these up for $100 on cl. only had 2 steelies and i was itchin to drive the car this year.

[timmysvert]

well lil update finally ordered my coils just cant wait to get them in !

[ghost_22_47]

Like a Phoenix back from the ashes

[-RJ-]

Im digging that back seat cover

[timmysvert]

thanx rj. i needed something to cover but i wanted to make sure the top stayed functional.i think im actually take it off and put a good set of 6x9's in it for better sound.

[-RJ-]

Well hey if you take it off, let me buy if from you

[timmysvert]

lol wasnt going to permenatley rmove it.im just going to pull it out and router out for speakers.i made it out of 3/4" mdf and marine grade black vinyl. i think i spent like a total of $30 to make it.

[-RJ-]

How did you do it, I wanna make one too.

Or you should make me one and I'll buy it from you

[murderrsirenss]

that cover is awesome! Gotta question, how did you mount your harnesses? I just bought me an NRG seat and was wonder how to mount the harness on the bottom since it doesnt have the auto seat belts like coupes/hatches so theres not 2 bolt holes on the bottom.

Though they say it isnt safe for street use

Thanks for that, I am getting a roll bar installed, but ive always had hatches and i could bolt the bottom left the the lap belt and the bottom right to the bottom of the auto seat belt, so i was curious to how guys bolt the bottoms in a vert.

[-RJ-]

The lap belt bolt is there, there is nothing there obviously because of the seatbelt on the door. You have to move the carpet out of the way to see it

[murderrsirenss]

awesomeee.

[-RJ-]

Well I mean the hole is there, you have to goto a junkyard or find a bolt to go in there

[murderrsirenss]

I'll just go get some eyelet bolts to fit. Or, I have a dresser draw full of s13 bolts/nuts/s***.


-Timmy, What'd you use to hold that cover up? You got some pics of the bottom side? Im interested in making one for the summer.

[timmysvert]

for the harness's i went the hardware store and used eyelets for the rear and used the rear seat belt bolt holes. probably not the safest set up but it works. im going to havea buddy of mine weld in a harness bar this summer. as far as the back cover goes i used the 2 tabs in the back for the seat back to hold it up. i folded them over and drilled holes in them. then i set the cover on and ran a screw threw each side. in the center i cut another piece and angled it down to floor so it hides the gap between the seats. ill grab pics of it later for ya.
rj alls i did was with the seat out take a piece of cardboard that covered the back and cut out a template. then i transfered it to the mdf. it takes a little bit of test fitting but its worth it.

[AZhitman]

Good to see someone else modding the hell out of a vert!

Keep up the good work, sir.

[murderrsirenss]

Awesome, that sounds so sick. I'd REALLY like to make one for summer.

[timmysvert]

yeah like i said it was really quite easy to make and it held up over the summer but i only put like a 1k mies on the car. the real test will be in may when i make my way down to carlisle. thanks azhtiman theres lots of inspiration on this forum so its hard not to mod the hell out of one of these cars

[timmysvert]

ok small update finally got the coilovers in. need to get spacers for the wheels now and fine tune it. it will go lower later



oh and ignore the mess im waiting for it to get warmer again so i can continue the body work

[timmysvert]

just got my tail lights in today. cant wait to get the body work and paint done so i can see how they look. i got smoked lights so hopefully they look good with the black paint.ill post up pics later.

[timmysvert]

ok so i finally have pics. sorry it took so long.
