    This is the 27 T that I purchased from metalshapes a while back. I haven't done much with it yet.

    Here are some updates, I found some nice garnish mouldings and have put them in.

    I got the seat recovered. I kind of wanted to do the whole interior in white, but decided since I'm just doing the seat for now, to do it in black. I did have some white piping put in. I might redo it in white later.

    Here's a before shot while Alex was doing some rust repair.

    Here's the seat now.

    It looks better in person, the camera really magnified a few puckers and stuff in the new vinyl. It lays fairly smooth in person.

    Thanks everyone. Alex, glad you like the seat.

    As far as what kind of seat it is, if I'm not wrong its a seat out of a mazda minivan.

    I still need the door mouldings. I have the 1/4 window and back window ones in. I'm sure the 1/4s are different for a sedan. I'm not sure about the rear one? The door pieces can be bought repro. That's what I will do when I get to that point.

    I've been debating finishing up the 3x2 induction (running on one only right now) or running a single holley 4 barrel with a nice small cast aluminum air cleaner. I have the carb and air cleaner, but would buy a blue thunder intake if I go that route. The 3 2's look so nice tho...

    I was amazed at how comfortable it was. :)

    No, it was a Quest.

    I guess that makes it a Nissan
    ( I had to look that up...:D :D)

    Those things all look alike to me...
