      500 bucks. The picture is flattering, but they are complete, and I won't be needing the blue fabric anyway.

            haha, well these did take a couple years of convincing the guy to sell them to me. Pretty sure he had them sitting around since the early 2000s.

            • Finally my license plate lights decided to work on their own accord. Don't worry though, they didn't work when I turned them off and on again.

              I got it pretty dirty when I took it out a few times this winter, so I brought it into work and buffed the whole car again (polish + wax) and don't plan on touching it until it's engine swap time. It's pretty crappy around here this winter, so I'm going to put it away and soldier on with the parts hoarding and fixing of stupid things. At this time last year (and more than 10 years before that) the 500 was a gigantic paperweight, sitting in random parking spaces and under trees, so I'm really really happy that it's something worth keeping in the garage this year.

              • More bling... it's going to be a long winter so we might as well take things slowly

                  • Been driving it to work since last week. Feels good to get out of the Pathfinder for a little bit!

                    • Every time I come back to this thread, I cry when I look at your seats. What a steal man, are they getting a refurb?

                        Yep! I'll probably start toying with them when the new motor is being put in. I'm expecting to pay at least $800 a piece to reupholster them. I'll probably do them one at a time for that reason.

                        They'll look like these:

                              • Trust me I know the paint of black + ocd. My neighbors probably think im fucking nuts with how much I stress over my cars paint. Even in the garage it cant stay clean.
