more pics..

testing the gauges and making sure everything works before I install center console.

test fitting seats to make sure the rails lined up/brackets matched before the upholstery guy finished the final details.

Gold hardware? Just jealous/admiring the attention to detail. And are those MS3 seats? If they are how difficult was the install for those? Was thinking of doing the same or the RX-8 R-3 seats.

supposed to be closer to burnt orange hardware but hoping the real color comes out when i use a real camera and not my phone. the seats are MZ3 seats that i had recovered in leather/suede with custom blue stitching. Having a welder and grinder anyone can install any seats into our cars, or buy the wedge brackets and bolt them to the rails and install.

I know Lewis7789 has pics in his thread of how he modded the MS3 seats to fit his P5

Oh herro!

Post #499 has the Speed3 seat info.

Appreciate the info, and I must say the build is coming together nicely. I knew you were getting your seats reupholstered but just didn't know which seats. I would definitely say it was a good choice.

thanks, too us a bit to figure out how they were going to be recovered and i only found out a few weeks ago what they looked liked finished. Was a surprise for everyone and hoping to get lots of seat time in them soon.
