I sent my TEIN HA suspension back to the mothership for a rebuild. It's the HA meant for NBs. Works awesome on NAs.








Only bolt you can't use air tools on...



Long bolt!



Long bolt method FTW!





Stripe #1!


The hardest stripe to get perfect.


Laying stripe. Notice the lack of contact paper? I do it free hand.


The easiest panel to stripe


Done!


(yes, it's a real polaroid, not a hipstamatic abortion)

Here’s my top 5 stripe tips.

• It’s WAY easier to lay out stripes individually rather than all together with a backing.
• There’s no need to mark the center line for the entire car. Just measure at both ends of each panel. I like to use post-its to mark those places.
• A big spray bottle with 2 drops of Dawn is just the thing for keeping vinyl from sticking right away.
• Don’t set your heat gun too close to your spray bottle and accidentally melt it.
• Measure. Often. Many times.

Probax!


My living room is left hand drive.


And I had these made up to fit.


The seat gets all its strength from the rear mount. I used 1/8" steel back there. The front bolts are really just for locating the seat.
