Hey nice car bro. I only just noticed your comment on my guestbook and no I'm not getting 200HP I wish I was, what I said was M42's are only good for 200HP with a lot of mods and for me that's not enough for the investment required that's why I'm looking at other options. I do love the M42 though, its tough as nails and runs really well for what it is and it gets me to work every day with a smile on my face and that's all that matters....

Hell no, did everything myself. If you're going to do it you need to take all your trim/panels off beforehand so you know how everything works/attaches. Stock up on any clips/fastners, because you will break some since your car is a 97. Get some reputable leather/vinyl dye for the job. My interior was the boring brown & tan before I started, so I redid the brown->black, and the tan->red. Prep with DENATURED ALCOHOL (hit up Home Depot's paint section, and get at least a gallon as it evaporates quickly). Break everything you can down into individual pieces, spray/dye at least 2 coats, 3 where you touch a lot(grab handles and shit). finish with some good leather/vinyl protectant. Have fun! and I wanna see pics when you're done.
