/\ That's between you and sammydafish... you know if I saw your name in the link, I'd have given you credit.
Good advice on that firewall blankie. I guess I'll put that back in when I reassemble
BTW: those tack welded mesh reinforced rear sections suck ass to remove.

no pics???
i wanna see how "cool" it looks
not bashing man just curious, call this experiment of yours an opportunity to lay down some thin black carpet and some recaro's, weld a roll bar and just cover the rest of the metal with some black fabric. you could make your car look better than it did before.

thanks scott.
I'm gonna get a new carpet for the front, and custom carpeting from that up into the hatch.
It'll be clean and tasteful.
now i just gotta DO it...

I see the purpose to removing the unusable rear seat, but I would have a upholstery place recarpet over where they were or something to that affect, and leave everything else. the weight difference isn't big enough to really make a difference unless you get extreme with it, at least not at the average supras power levels. anyways thats what i plan on doin, just my .02

thats what i've decided on doing, MAYBE by next Suprafest but i doubt it, pics will be up tomorrow, bash all you want man you've got one of the cleanest white Supras i ever seen and your a good guy Luis hope to see ya at the track sometime maybe when i get the tranny problem fixed becuase im runnin 9-11lbs now last time it was only 7:evil2:
edit: i havent gone as hardcore as supra90turbo because that tar is just such a pain in the ass plus his is just in a stage it doesnt look driveable...
I personally LOVE mint, stock, unmolested interiors. I understand how some people can gut their mk3 interiors because they have another car to use as a DD. My mk3 is my only means of transportation so i'd like the interior to be as comfortable as possible. That means no leaks, no tears, no noise, no stains. Unfortunately, i have all of those. :cry:

my car was gutted for 4 months once. from the driver's seat back was bare metal. then i bought a really nice condition gray cloth interior, and put it in. my car looks like crap from the outside, but everyone says: "wow, it's NICE in here!"

my car is gutted with spray in liner i tinted blue to match the car and it looks awesome inside also i have the back seats out but ileft the seatbest it its still semi comfortable in the back due to the shape of the metal under the seats its sorta like a bucket seat as it is so its pretty sweet i liek it
the back 1/2 of my 87 is gutted.. i get a lot of noise from rocks hitting the ewheel wells but thats about it.. I would rather have all the interior.. it looks hacked with it all out
so how much weight did you lose?
i know my car is still faster with full interior and a full tank....:biglaugh:
