RE: Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser
I started with installing/modifying the Carina to fit the double headlights and I stopped because I need to make a custom bracket to support the headlights on the outer side. Normally this is done with a JDM bracket which I obviously don't have...
I did adjust the wiring, so that is done now.

What I did do today was install this:

I was lucky to find a full set of Toyota Celica Supra seats in black including the rear seat as well and they are still in an incredible state! Not entirely new but not shabby at all and only a few minor scratches. As you can see the seats are a bit lower. Wink

So now the Carina looks like this:

I can now sit in the car somewhere between 5 to 10 cm lower than before and that should fix the headroom issue I normally have when taking speedbumps. The seats are very very comfortable so for longer distances this should improve things a lot!

There are a few issues though: as I’m colorblind I did not realize my interior is a deep-dark brown color and I always interpreted it as black. However when installing the seat I realized I made an error but to me it doesn’t look too bad though. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Wink

Also the rear seat is shaped differently between the Carina and the Celica even though they are installed on the exact same spot. The Celica has some sort of moulding that stretches over the inner rear fender while the Carina seat is way higher and sits over the inner fender. So this is something I need to resolve with the spare parts from the Celica I’m breaking.

And the last issue is that the top part of the rear seat is discolored. It looks more or less blueish now so I need to find a way to dye this to black.
