NikoFab Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Glad to see some of that maroon interior gone. But I would love to see a two tone with black seats and some maroon panels someday like some of the new, modern interiors: http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/pc85dr/IMG_1084.jpg Like this MB 500 SL at the Philadelphia Auto show.yeah that looks pretty cool. i've already been talking with an auto upholstery guy locally about doing some work similar to that.

R-R-Quest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Althought the maroon isn't too bad, I agree that the black is much nicer. BTW, only one E-Brake cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought it, it had no e-brake cables at all! I ran the one as a temp fix, but will be running another as I go along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-RDate: 5/24/12Got the passenger side done today. Also managed to address the triangle piece mounting issue by creating my own flanges and threading them so the triangles are secured. Not bad if I say so myself. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1506.jpghttp://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1505.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-RDate: 6/18/12Got the smoked fog light covers from Tim at MotoCam360 today...they look pretty sharp I think. Still have to install the LED fog lights I got from 87quest_stv. I'll get pics of that install up as soon as possible. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1512.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1513.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1514.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1515.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1516.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1517.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1518.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1520.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1519.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1521.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny_Jim Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Lookin good! I like how good the black looks on the white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Lookin good! I like how good the black looks on the white!Thank you sir! They almost look too good...like when you see a guy put $2000.00 worth of rims on a $500.00 car! Not to worry, the body work and paint job are coming in the near future. Gotta finish the interior first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-RDate: 6/18/12Ok some interior work done. Got all my new upholstery in this week and got started installing in the back of the car. Looks pretty good I think. Can't do the front upholstery until I install my new seats which also came in this week. Going to have to fabricate some adapter rails so that the new seat rails will bolt to the stock floor mounts. Anyway here's some pics of the rear upholstery going in. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1492-1.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1494-1.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1493-1.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1497-1.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1495-1.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_1496-1.jpg Edited June 22, 2012 by Nikolaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-RDate: 7/6/12 Ok, finally had a day off and was able to install the front strut braces I purchased from ESIrType? Couldn't be more pleased with them. Although the strut tower nuts were hell to get off...thank the Lord for Liquid Wrench. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0469.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0470.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0471.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0472.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0473.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0474.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0475.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0476.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0477.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0478.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0479.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0480.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w396/Nikolaya77498/IMG_0481.jpg Edited July 7, 2012 by Nikolaya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
