Weekend projects GT3 Seats... &

I found a killer deal on a set of GT3 seats, right place at the right time. I wanted Leather again but I ended up with Perlon. So far I love them! As soon as UPS dropped the package off I disassembled them and sent the seat backs straight to the paint shop. I got around to putting them back together this weekend and installed them in the car. I LOVE GT3 SEATS!!!I loved my last set and I love these, the driving experience is just better.







I also had a chance this weekend to hang some of my 1:18 scale models in the new garage. I still have more to hang but here is what I got to. They look great hanging on the angle and I went through a few different scenarios before ending up with the final installation.

Thanks guys! Yep loving Denver missing So. Cal though... not all of it just some of it. The seats feel great. The cases are now sealed so here is the best I can do from the ground.

The Auto Art are of course my favorites their detail is amazing.

that's awesome, everything looks really good!

what part of denver do you live in? I have an aunt / uncle / fam that lives in Golden. My family did the opposite migration, we were all born out there and came to socal in the 70's. I was born in ft collins, actually.

Thanks again guys it has been 3 months in the works. I live near the city (Denver) in an old 20's neighborhood near the Cherry Creek mall to give you reference. 15 years in So.Cal It was time for a change, 1 year in November. Having real seasons you can see change has been nice. So Cal you have Rainy, Windy, overcast and Sunny Seasons which all seem to be one in the same.

Wow the seats look great and should hold you better not being slippery leather.

You really are a porsche nut though, I have a bunch of models I keep in my home office, but they are a mix of Auburn, Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Ford and Lamborghini. Never though of putting them on the wall in the garage though.

Awesome work on the garage....
