did a lot of interior related work today.
everything is painted but the dash and consoles.
a few shots of the bracketry and cougar seat install with the seat removed to see how its setup:
just the power driver's seat rails setting in there:
please excuse my dirty carpet
and a shot of the brackets I made for the front mounting points:
and one of the rear, the other is similar just a little longer:
front installed:
I will clean up the rust and paint the brackets my next day off hopefully.
and a shot of all the brackets in place:
It was late when I finished up so the shots are a little dark, but fully installed!
next up is the rear seat! once its done I'll have a split fold rear and a cup holder for the rear passenger!
no updates on the hellas install, I wanted to get as much painted while the weather was still nice.2011 BMW 128i 6 Speed Manual -- dd

I am going to fiberglass it and then smooth it out with resin and filler. I just haven't had the time/desire to mess the ooey gooey stuff right now.
hmm I'll think about it, I was going to weld something to my hood to give it the angry look.
I trimmed up the grill and installed the last couple brackets to properly fix the headlights in place.
As you can see, proper eyelids are going to be next on my to do list, along with installing my hella's, the rear bumper lip finishing, and fiberglassing that front bumper seam.
I also did a little experimenting with my dremel tool and a cracked up Escort GT grill.
I may cut it up further and see if I can make it sit flush into the grill and then fiberglass it in there.
I really love this picture:
It captures a lot of the unique facets of my car, the Legacy outback bumper, civic projector headlights, the BP, and the 14" wheels and upgraded brakes. For some reason I really like the black steelie looks.Last edited by nerd racing; 09-25-2009, 11:57 PM.2011 BMW 128i 6 Speed Manual -- dd
