GeorgesBlazah · 02-14-2009, 02:08 PM

Thats wierd. Ive got spindles and ZQ8 coils with no problem.

GeorgesBlazah · 02-14-2009, 02:08 PM

Project looks good though

**SSfan** · 02-14-2009, 02:50 PM

thanks and yeah some people have that problem, some dont, the only thing i can think of is maybe it has longer tie rods with the tight radius steering box but i dont know

well i know my 98 doesnt turn near as well as the 94 does and the 98 has much quicker response im thinking thats either defferent sttering boxes or because of the wider tires but i cant figure it out

**SSfan** · 02-15-2009, 10:46 PM

Ok i got the headliner out tonight, it was sagging because its 15 years old and i need more red in the interior so im gonna cover it in red to match the carpet, heres some pics of the destruction

My interior is full of panels and tools!lol

**leadsled2020** · 02-16-2009, 01:36 AM

you can always get new ones..... pretty sure you can find em in several colors...

**SSfan** · 02-17-2009, 09:55 PM

Ive been searching and found nothing so far

-YumYum97s10- · 02-17-2009, 09:58 PM

Duplicolor fabric paint?

**SSfan** · 02-17-2009, 11:08 PM

i thought about that too

-YumYum97s10- · 02-18-2009, 12:09 PM

If done right, it would look great. I redid both of my bumpers with duplicolor.

**SSfan** · 02-18-2009, 03:16 PM

I just got the headliner done today ill post pics later

**SSfan** · 02-18-2009, 07:04 PM

Heres the headliner...i still need to cutout the holes for the grab handle and the sunroof and other stuff like that but here it is

**SSfan** · 02-18-2009, 08:35 PM

I took my visors apart i put them with the headliner and it doesnt look good with red and gray so im gonna re do them in red as well..it was really easy to take apart

**leadsled2020** · 02-18-2009, 10:38 PM

headliner looks great.... cant wait to see it installed....

**SSfan** · 02-18-2009, 11:27 PM

yeah me either...what was redoing my headliner ended up being almost an entire interior overhaul!lol...besides the headliner im redoing the visors, i need to find some buckets, the console i got is a 98+ with a tape deck and im gonna put an xm in where the tape deck was and wire it to my radio, then when i get the buckets im gonna put red piping on them, im getting the polished crank handles backe in a couple weeks as well, so this interior will look alot different and alot better!lol

**leadsled2020** · 02-18-2009, 11:52 PM

its going to look awesome...

90blueS10 · 02-18-2009, 11:55 PM

awesome progress

24digger · 02-19-2009, 05:52 AM

Looks great. Where did you get your headliner redone?

**SSfan** · 02-19-2009, 01:06 PM

thanks i got it done at this upholstry place down the street from me we've known him for a long time he does great work, it only cost 45 bucks for labor and the materials im gonna do the visors myself

sonomanator · 02-19-2009, 01:08 PM

damn 45 aint bad i paid like 20 for my suede then 20 for the spray and it already looks like shit and i haven't even been in it much.

**SSfan** · 02-19-2009, 01:20 PM

yeah i was surprised it was that cheap i just went to see how much it would be if it was too much i was gonna do it myself but when he said 45 i said take it!lol
