Reece's 75 Fiat Spider runs, drives, and stops! We got the timing dialed in and the brakes sorted this weekend. First time on the road in 10 years at least. Let's go!

The Rally Corolla 2.0 is complete. Same 1zz-fe motor, same lifted coil springs and clearanced body, same nitrous kit, but the 5speed manual gearbox makes it so much more responsive. Let's go racing...

The 71 F100 needs floor pans, drivetrain and a bunch of interior work but I ignored all that and reupholstered the bench seat. This vinyl is from LMC truck and is the same as I used in the 77 F100. Cut the old upholstery off, weld/repair any broken seat structure, new foam if needed, then slowly start working the new vinyl over the foam and clip with hog rings hold it in place. Tedious but not difficult. End result is a solid upgrade to the interior and will match with black door cards, dash pad, and headliner. She's coming along...

I've always used an old soldering iron to make holes in the carpet, melts a nice clean circular edge. Once everything was bolted down, used a carpet hook and torch to trim the edges to fit and clean them up. Came out killer, she looks like a real hot rod now and not just a work in progress. Rear seat is next...
