I thought so too but this is the only nbs I've ever seen with a blue interior...

I showed my gf my new steering wheel and her response was, "but where are the buttons for the radio?"

This fabrication **** takes forever I got my welder wired up to the dryer outlet finally, unortuneatly its a shitty harbor freight flux core special so its not that easy to use. I know how to weld, but ive only used nice mig welders so going from that to flux is interesting. If anyone has any good tips for flux welding? I wasnt satisfied with the pentration at first but turned up the amperage and wire speed and it seems to be doing better not to mention easier puddle control.....with that aside I finished the passenger seat brackets and it works perfectly.

I plan to use one hole right in the middle of the angle iron for the lab bolt and the stock bolts for the shoulder straps...the metal is 3/16 steel. I reinforced the sides with a piece of 3/16 iron where I had to cut the bracket things.










These seats are comfy as ****! Also got my oil pump spring today so I can install the oil pan now

Just make sure the metal is clean and try to keep a steady hand but then again I've never welded with a nice mig

Just had a thought on that sleeper rollcage... disguise it as a gun rack. Slap a git r done or bass proshop sticker in the back window too. And did you see the factory wheels widened in the silver sleeper build?

Good idea with the roll cage. I did see the wheels, just havent sent mine off yet. This setup is going to be fun on the 285 all terrains

Finished my seat brackets yesterday, **** that took forever. I reinforced the stock brackets where I could and kept that stock reclining lever thing....I may revisit this since the seat kind of rocks from the play in it...





Got most of the ineterior together. The seats looks awesome, and the plastic looks great. Its not as shiny as it seems in the pictures. I am very satisfied with how it is all coming together!
