SteveP360's Widetrack Smoker

Managed 2 hours on the car this afternoon

Got the full floor pan cleaned and refitted the carpet. Have also refitted a cleaned handbrake/gear lever surround and all the trims round the edge of the doors. Replaced passenger side trim that covers the seat belt, waiting for other side to arrive from dealers. They were heavily scratched.

Working on my Spec C seats tonight which are going back in. Gonna give them a clean before refitting. Have some raceglaze alcantara cleaner and will APC the backs and sides.

Really pleased with this, its a WR1 rear seat. It was rotten when I got it, managed to bring it back like new, so I have put the one piece spec c rear in a plastic sealed back and put it in the loft. The Spec C rear is new and has never been used so ideal for a future project. The WR1 seat allows me to still re-use the luggage hatch which can come in handy. Off to finish the rear lower.

Starting to get a bit shape back into it there

Time for a brew and spend some time with the misses, before she goes to bed and I can crack on

Full rears now in, very happy with them. They were f***ed when I got them. Have come up really nice.

Gonna get the fronts cleaned again shortly, you gotta do these seats a little at a time to get the best results I have found.

Second clean on the front seats using race glaze alcantara cleaner, APC and cleaned and repainted the seat mounts.

Third clean tomorrow and deodorise then it'll be time to get them fitted.

Off to bed, knackered .

I like them, very swish them like.

Centre console back in with replaced vents as originals were marked, that job was easy,

Went to put the seats back in and have found that the seat bases have different mounting points between an 03 sti and a widetrack/hawkeye. Ironically the mount point on the seats themselves are the same so next job is to swap the seat runners over. First one removed.

Quick update as have been busy on a few other things and on holiday. Alternator belt replaced. Lower zunsport grill fitted, debadged grill and upper custom zunsport mesh to match lower. Many thanks again to Ryan (prodriverules on scoobynet) for debadging and painting the upper grill and repainting the fog light covers as they were really bad. Ryans work never fails to amaze me with its quality and attention to detail.

Front end mods is pretty much done now. Couple of quick pics
