Nice, that name sounds familiar I think thats the stuff people were saying to use.

Also peter is right, where are the pics?

Seats wont fit without a lot of modification. The 2g brackets are weird, all four mounting points are different heights, different than 1gs.

Pics!
The car is missing one of the sun visors so i didnt pop the holes in the passenger side visor area. The driver side visor i have to recover still.
I first took down the headliner, and then used a welding brush (thick wire brush) to clean off the old foam padding. Then sanded it a little smoother and to clean the rest off. Then repaired the broken peices. I then sprayed the Super 77 and waited like 15 seconds to get it tacky. Then layed it down and smoothed everything. Then cut it out leaving a couple mm of extra to wrap a bit. Let her dry and she was good to go. The material i used is really nice, i was thinking i was going to have to get fabric and foam seperate but Joanns had the headliner material that the foam was on the back of the cloth.

I was actually thinking about that afterward, But i think when i get carpets ill recover it again in black or grey. But ill also have to get covers for the seats as it looks like ill have to keep the 1g seats until i get race seats. Then ill have to change the carpet on the doors, and the leather on the doors as well. :)
Hopefully Stephan will be able to get back to his house and get the rest of the parts i need such as the Center Console, The plastics for the pillar right behind the driver and passenger head, also the back seat and the missing HID Ballast.

Looking good so far.

Tom, I swear you once said that you'd never own a 1g. :)

LOL, i actually did say that. But then i got desperate for boost and for something to work on. Ive been driving my 02 ford explorer, and my brother in law and sister went to austria and he left me his car to borrow for the week, its a late 90s early 00s Toyota Camry, but it was a manual trans, and i realised then just how much i miss driving a manual.

I think tonight i may start ripping into the engine bay, getting the Ignition hooked up for the most part, and getting the new Prosport Boost gauge hooked up.

headliner looks good. Where is the special headliner fabric at Joann's? When I went there last year, I walked all over the whole store looking for the best fabric to use, and ended up just getting some felt.

Also, good idea using the 3M stuff. I saved a couple bucks and went with some Loctite brand adhesive, and it sucks, I have to redo it. I'll be making sure to use the best 3M stuff I can find.

But still curious where exactly in the store you got the fabric. Because I'll have to get new fabric I think, and am willing to use something other than this felt, although the felt did turn out decent.

in the maple grove store they had it towards the back in the area where the foam padding is. i forget the department, but in MG it was on the back wall on the right side of the store. Its also where they have the upolstry fabric.
