You wanna buy my used IE pan, and sell your moroso while its still shiny? if so PM me. I had to remove mine since the engine builder i'm working with wont provide 'warranty' for his build with it on (these dragster shops only know jegs.com stuff ugh). i was planning to put it back in later but now I'm also thinking to turn the car to a DD and/or sell it at some point

Used Master Coating Silver primer mixed which is mixed in with aluminum and their subway paint. If anyone is curious, this is industrial stuff, I would recommend to anyone who wants durable things.

Got some free time on my hands last weekend did the door cards with suede. I suppose I get carried away at times...

Honestly pretty painful. You have to get suede that stretches really well. Hard to get it to stick, so you have to spray glue as go even then after it tries to come off when fully glued, mainly on sides walls atop from where plastic trim gets inserted. I wasted so much much material on this. If I were to start over this process probably would buy ready to glue ones off ebay search key words uk company on ebay >(Mitsubishi Evo 7 8 9 JF1 4X Door Card Trim Real Leather Covers RED STITCH | Multicolor | Shift Boot | Made in United Kingdom) or if you up to the challenge difficulty on scale probably 7/10, you really have to take your time.
