Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

Wrapped up my 93 coupe got it back on the road. It’s officially Mini tubbed, narrowed, supercharged and caged on 15x12s.. A lot more to come on this one though.


I really admire your work dude . Attention to detail is just unreal . I follow you on Facebook too now . If you don't mind me asking what are the front wheel specs
 
He's like 'recaros are us' (or 'him' in this case)
On the recaro subject, does the 84 svo have recaros?
If so what would they be worth in 'decent' shape?
84 Svo seats are not recaros. But as far as a used set. I usually pay an average of $200 for a good set of cores to build and redo. Such as these

I assume you stitch up the new covers yourself, but where do you get replacement parts and foam for the Recaros?

It's funny you say you pay $200 for a rebuildable set... There is a guy somewhat local to me that has been trying to sell a set on CL for months for $500 and they look like they've been through a nuclear holocaust.
 
I stitch new covers and usually repair the foam or pattern it like the covers and make my own to replace. There are places overseas that sell replacement foam as well, but I’ve found it works better for me to just cut my own. $500 is way too much. I can get nice sets all day for that...that don’t need new foam.
