Well I haven't posted any new stuff in awhile so I just finished up another project today and figured I would write a bit of it up.
K first off, picked up front leather seats at a wrecker, couldn't find the whole back set from the car that I got the fronts from though. My car never had a power seat, this GT did, a 6 way (all of them do no?). Now the problem with this was, getting a wiring harness and all that useless crap. I phoned up the guy who does all the work on our cars (mechanic at the local GM dealer) and he said the cheapest he could find a wiring harness for was 300 bucks CAN used. I said http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_censored.gif that, I paid 140 for both seats, I am not gonna bother with the trouble/paying double the cost of the seats just so I can be lazy.
So that leads to the aforementioned project. The leather seat to SE seat base swap. The seats were outside for some time, so they were rusted pretty bad, but I got a good deal of it off, and went at it.
That is the old power base with the leather part off of it. I got about 70% of the bottom part of that seat down to the shiny metal again.

Got them swapped, and the left over pieces.

End result.

Now for the damage I suffered over the winter from random people.

And to top it off, the bloody bugs are out already.

And finally, the powerslot slotted rotors / EBC Greens combo I did a long time ago (last summer).
