Nice Build here doing it right. Going to end up with something real special when you are done.

Hope you brought the car right price wise. The thing that you don't want to do is buy a car like this and restore costing more than one that you could have bought and not had to do the restore work for the same price or less.

Yes! The car ended up being 2800 with tax and everything, considering they go for 7 to 9k with more than 150k miles with the sticky dash and messed up paint, I got a lot of room to build this the right way, no cost cutting because I'm keeping this car

hey so I checked out your thread, I have had the isf steering damper for a while now just need time to install it, so as far as I'm concerned if I buy a 2011 or up isf steering ecu it's just a plug and play with no calibration since it's been calibrated already correct?

Only if you buy a used one. A used 2011 is very difficult to find. If you buy a new one, you will have to calibrate it either using TechStream or have a dealer calibrate it. As far as installation that is pretty straight forward, it's under the battery. The plugs can be pretty tricky though

It's a direct fit, nothing needs to be rewired. Pull out the old ECU, plug in the new one and calibrate if it's new

How did you/How do you replace the pillars? Mine are looking faded and definitely want to replace them. Did you have to remove the molding first from the doors on the bottom to gain access? Or is it just 3m adhesive similar to the spoiler etc?

Default ISF Suede with blue stitching armrest finally came!

I finally managed to order the ISF Suede armrest and it looks amazing! Part number is 5890553120C0.

I know that it doesn't match my interior but like I said there's big plans and right now I'm focusing on the exterior and suspension/wheels tires. Once those are done I can then move on to the interior and build it the way I wanna do it. Anyways, here it is!

I am interested in a set of ISF seats (front and back). Specifically, the suede inserts with blue stitching. If not I'm also VERY interested in a set of white seats from the ISF. If anyone has them for sale please let me know asap! appreciate it.

If you click on the link everything is there with the price. If the link doesn't work I'm located in LA, California, price is 60 or best offer, and if I have to ship it I'll pay for the shipping. My number is in the link as well.

OK, thanks. I'm going to be in SoCal end of next week, let me think on it. I'll be in the Corona area but I may be able to take a trip down to LA to visit a friend. I'll ping you when I'm down there if you haven't sold it yet

My apologies for not being clear. I am referring to the door pillars on both sides of the car (driver/passenger), so I think B pillar (where the seat belt is) and the rear seat pillar
