comments?

look very nice, youre going to have to change more interior bits to suit tho, like door trims, good luck keeping it that colour

Lose the dice, do the door trims, bunched up. Looks great! :P

*edit: You need new wiper arms too! pronto.

that looks hot as man, the interior.. are those the seat covers?

if so, vert neat install man.

nice choice of color. i was too scared to go for ivory/white. its gutsy, looks great

Looks mint. Get rid of the dice lol.

Thanks guys.

These are full retrims, I was going to go the group-buy covers, but I decided to stick with retrims that I put on myself.

In response to ts 3.0- There's quite a large project scheming in my mind for the rest of the interior. it won't be anywhere NEAR the fugly blue colour it is now. lol.

My mum looked at me in shock when I showed her the colour- the silence was followed by "you'll never be able to keep that clean". lol.

lenda- I LOVE MY DICE! lol. my mate gave them to me for my b'day. lol they're excellent!

I'll let my little interior secret out. i'm planning on a mitsubishi sigma-style interior it's nothing n-one's ever seen before, but should really make it look classy.

Except every sigma owner perhaps? lol

Car needs lowering too, too high...

Mum thought those seats were white haha...still doesn't like them tho lol

Interior looks excellent - very classy. :thumbsup:
Can't wait to see the rest done.

Dice - each to there own. I had some on the old EK but I think they suit the old classics better. However, having said that, if a mate gave them to you (assuming he's a good mate) then mateship alone says keep-them.

Are they Tuffy's old rims?

Do you have a lap/sash seat belt in the middle of the rear seat?
Didn't think 2nd gens had that - but then I had a wagon I guess.

Are they Tuffy's old rims?
Yeah, they are pauls' old rims. IMO they suit the 2nd gen so well. the black inserts make them look tough aswell.

No, they're just lap seatbelts, but I always take the lap belt and put it up and kind of fold it in under the backrest. lol. I don't know why, I've always done that.

if only it looked that good in life. lol.

the paint is screwed and it's covered in scratches. another reason i like the colour is because scratches and dents don't show up from far/in pics. lol

id be taking that kenwood sticker off, looks tacky and their gear is nothin to boast about

lol yeah i get that, go silver cars! :D

got this scratch like sum1 keyed it, but its feint so u can barely see it unless ur focusing on it properly, but silver for my car is by far the best colour for the model IMO, im talking about my TX5- my old 2nd gen, there were many colours that suit it alot, thats if its been taken care(d- bad english) of

id be taking that kenwood sticker off, looks tacky and their gear is nothin to boast about

yeah I know, but everything in my car is kenwood. when I upgrade to alpine stuff, there'll be an alpine sticker in its place. lol.

very very nice. how much did it set you back?

The whole set of retrims set me back $300. This, however, was a special offer from the seller. I had to install them myself.

thanks for all the comments guys, keep them coming.

yann off the topic. your from naree yeah? im from dandy, so if your ever heading over to the northen meet, gimme a pm and we can cruise down together

So someone sold them to Gerard,
Gerald sold them to TUFFTR,
TUFFTR sold them to yann89,

They’ve been on at least three 2nd Gens – Blue, Maroon & Silver – what colours next – place ya bets boys. :bowrofl:

No worries. wont be hapening soon though. lol. maybe next month.

Looking very nice... word of advice (from experience) with nice trim.

Drunk mate + traveler + meat pie = bad news for upholstery lol

Keep human body size garbage bags in the boot just in case.

Oh, and keep the dice, you never know when your monopoly board might be one dice short or something... handy!

Man after looking at those photos my plates are so going in the middle now!
Looks real nice yann89.
How does the cream contrast with the blue interior?
edit* why does my car have to appear in most threads

CRAPLY! lol. it will be changed soon enough. it'll be black instead of blue.

LOL at the "human sized garbage bags" comment. best comment in the thread!

']Man after looking at those photos my plates are so going in the middle now!...Agreed, would look better. I like the plates on the side but only when there's a reason such as a big intercooler in the middle.

']...edit* why does my car have to appear in most threadsWish it did! I searched the forum heaps for a rear shot of your car with the old rims, without any luck. In the end I just used the shot posted by Gerard.

puck...PAY ATTENTION! tuffy likes to be different! lol

mate, look excellent, would have got SE or Rada rear seat however with the head rests while I was at it

Looks fantastic mate! Really impressed!
I originally wanted that colour but opted for black with white stitching as I didnt know how I would keep it clean?
Is it already showing signs of getting dirty?


Keep up the good work

Nah hasnt showed any dirt yet. Ive only had it in for about a week, so yeah.

When me and dad were putting it in, it became filthy with grease from the tracks on the front seats. one quick go-over with a soapy sponge and a dry cloth and it became good as new. VERY easy to clean surprisingly

get some power windows
dice needs to go - it aint a pimp mobile
wheels look good
nice embroidery on the interior too

All he needs is some fluffy door trims and he'll be on the way to a pimpmobile.
dont go dissing the dice man, they cool

fluffy door trims what the hell
needs some power windows first man LOL

fluffy door trims what the hell

why didnt you get leather door inserts made? (to yann89 sorry)
i like the mitsu logo though looks good.
so do you rip the old stuff off the seats? or just cover em with these?

yer getting power windows soon
i like the dice
i like the wheels
thx :)

to tufftr: i didnt get door inserts made because extra material was really pricey. i',m shopping for stuff thats the same colour. shouldnt be too hard to find.

as mentioned before...these were retrims, so I had to pull all the old stuff off and put this stuff on with metal rods . stuff. not as easy as one may think. lol

Well everyone, i've decided to make this my car-update thread. there's alot more to come, but here's pics of the car now:

well I killed the 6-spoke 17's that were on it in the first and 2nd pics, so I'll need new rims. i'm thinking along the lines of B-BOSS Maddisons of the 18' size. I'd probably only go lows though, too low annoys me as it becomes a bit too dificult to do anything.

thanks for positive feedback :)

looking nice mate, but you need to do something with those indicators

when i had my ts i did this

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/bigperry/Update/PA100006.jpg

its cheap and easy to do :D

imo those side indicator tints depend on the colour of the car, they look mad on the black/dark blue/car maroon....but i tried it on mine for a while (white) and they looked a bit crap....each to their own i spose, you could always try it yann and see, but im not too sure on the silver...

here are my chops they both look good

I've gone a bit different to that actually. I can't believe I didnt put that pic up. lol.

I've sprayed the inside of the indicator black and added a mirror-type globe then moulded clear perspex over the front and touched up the edges with a rubber strip to makeit flush with the panel.

hmm its different, how come them indicators aren't in the recent pics :D

Respray is a must, I'm so happy with how mine came up. Lowered and tinted will look real good too. I love the contrast of almost black (from the para's, indicators, bumpers and tint) to the colour of the body. Should look pretty sweet with a new interior too. I'm sure you will, but let us know how it goes.

yeah i'm respraying soon enough. my paint is getting really really bad with some spots completely uncovered. it'll soon start rusting. I've deside that ill get machine-faced rims with black inserts to match with the grey bottom and black tint. can't wait til it all comes together.

i forgot you killed those rims yann lol i was goin to say that id take em off ya hands when you were done with em! but then again... id have to close my AMC division then :confused: :bowrofl:

Im sorry, did you say he Killed those rims?!

those wheels have been within AMC for 3 generations.. What the hell happened?

i think he may be having us on :nuts:

How many times is the same question going to be posted about the damn wheels hahaha...hit a gutter iirc..

Regarding the indicators, need to do something about how much that indicator globe stands out man, otherwise they look good :P

i dont know why people dont just use the orange indicators.. they suit it so much better. oh well.

If those wheels have been damaged im gonna be pissed !

but a black line ties them i done it to my 2nd gen when i had it

i dont know why people dont just use the orange indicators.. they suit it so much better. oh well.

I see whare you're coming from and would agree to a certain extent, but I think it depends on the colour of the car. I prefer my indicators to be black 'cos it goes well with my bumpers, etc. Sometimes the orange does look pretty good.

Fair enough

i dont know why people dont just use the orange indicators.. they suit it so much better. oh well.
I ditched the orange indicators on my rada, I think the clear look suits better these days.

:stoopid:. i've got orange ones in my sports and i can't wait to get some clean ones

Re: Gerard- DONT hit me :cry: lol. it was dark, raining, windo was fogged upa nd i was driving through a carpark when BANG. hit one of those planter curbs. trust me. not a very proud acheivement of mine. i'm seeing if it can be fixed, but the chances are very slim. on the other hand, seeing as its just one, if ANYONE could POSSIBLY TELL ME where i could find another one/very similar one, i'd be oh-so-glad to be out-of-pocket on a set wheel.

Also, the orange indicators would have looked like poo on my car. it looks nice on the maroon/green/blue/white radas, but not silver. lol

you cannot replace those wheels. not only have i never seen the same ones on another car anywhere, but tufftr custom polished and painted those, spent about 5hrs or something crazy on each rim!!

If you have a look inside the rim the only branding on em is a 'made in german' or som country stamp.

not happy man, they were becoming an icon

....sigh

i think we spoke to soon

as if i wasnt upset enough when it happened :doubt: yes i liked them, yes im sorry, yes im depressed about killing them. hey, **** happens, i learned my lesson that night.
What I don't get is that i'm getting blasted for ACCIDENTALLY spoiling the wheels, yet when paul wanted to sell them, i'm the only one that wanted 'em.

If I decide on getting new rims, i'll try something B-Boss. either eleanors or maddisons. if either of them, they'll be 18's.

im not Blasting you, whatever that means. lol

it's just a sad day

Hey, you should give on wheel to each of its previous owners for memories sake!

Also: you went from getting one of a kind rare wheels, to bboss, one of the most common and ugliest wheels possible!
they are cheap because they are in mass production now, everyone has them..

anyways, good luck with it, car's lookin good atm
