shLONG13 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Bit of an update on the purple people eater for you guys. Finally got around to getting the cloth inserts removed from the seats and replaced with vinyl with the original brown stitching which looks heaps better. Also had the TEQ logo sewn into the middle of the back seat for a finishing touch. After the seats had been put back in on Saturday the next day i put it in the Shannons Car and Bike expo, one of the biggest ones of the year and managed to win my 6th trophy in a row for Best 1980's Modified. So stoked! Also just recently received some news that it will be going into Hot4's magazine in the readers rides section in issue 229 and then later on they are doing a full write up on it! Heres a few pics from the weekend that people took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-89 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I said it on fb and i'll say it again, those seats look brilliant! Its something about the vinyl which gives the interior that ambience. In the time this car has been public, its seriously gotten better and better. Also who owned the red ke70 xx and ae71 csx in those car shots? They looked quite tidy and original.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'd say the majority of KE70's would look rough next to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm making sure this gets nominated for RCCOTY. I dunno if a sev winning 2 years in a row would go down well but it really does deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
