The Tangerine Machine Build Thread

[fry]

good too see you back, hope you can hang around longer this time. Love the color. What is wrong with the seats I was perfectly happy with my stock seats until Justin sold his.

Hey, thanks! The seats are so worn out that there's no cushion left in them and the leather is ripped to shreds. I hate them, it's like sitting on the metal frame. I have back problems to begin with, but the seats make it ten times worse there's no support.

Glad you are back Liz, we all missed you.

Quite the adventure youve had with the car. Glad your're keeping at it.

Too bad you dont live closer, I have a set of nice black door panels (but they are not Mach 460 panels, they'd need some trimming for the door tweeter/speaker) that I removed from my old Vibrant Red when I parted it out and also have a nice mint black drivers Airbag.

I only swapped them once, and borrowed a set in between.

I replaced all my valve seals this week. Just gotta get the valve covers back on and get the new rack and pinion back on. The car was smoking REALLY bad and we assumed the kids ducked up the valve seals, but honestly when I changed them out I didn't see where any of them were messed up. I really hope the car runs good when I crank it back up. :/

Thanks yall! I know the fuel injectors are the wrong ones which explains why the car is shutting off, I'm guessing. But that wouldn't cause it to smoke? UGH.

Good stuff, glad to see you back. I hear ya on the seats, it's even worse for me because I have the craptastic New Edge seats. After an hour I'm done. Then again 265 lbs has a way of breaking foam down... the seat was nice at first...lol

It's going to be a blast when it's all back together. Enjoy having usable cupholders once you get that console in!
