Finished up with the leather conditioner on the passenger seat.pulled the lower cushion out and found the frame had signs of moisture. So now will clean the framework and put a coat of wax on it. Guessing the drivers seat is the same. Adjusted the head light closing.

Put this on it.




It is an epoxy. Very durable and it looks deep without having to recoat a bazillion times.
I've used a similar product called Enviro Tec or Tex, which is a 2 part. It flows out really nicely and doesn't trap lots of bubbles if you know how to use a heat gun.

It looks really nice. Did you consider black walnut for your console cover? Just for grins, I think I may have wanted something a little darker in natural color.

Took the 91 ZR1 For a little spin then to the petrol stop for the good stuff.The issue of a vaccum leak under the plenum seems to have stopped.After the drive, the fuel pump cycles as it should. Perhaps something was just stuck from lack of use? No problem. I still need to order the new headlight gears and bushings and then install them. Then pull the wheels and fender wells to clean the suspension parts.seems odd for a car with only 11k, but then it is 25 years old.

Repaired the EGR Tube Massacre of 2016. Stupid little tube split, flipped up and murdered stuff under my hood. Burnt through passenger hood cable, distributor cap, rotor, ignition module, and coil. What a mess. Got it all replaced, repaired, and running.

I removed the old injectors since one of them was leaking at the top o-ring. Originally I planned on immediately throwing the Bosch III's I got from Jon today in and then going for a drive, but I like to tinker so I figured it was time to try my hand at porting the plenum. Now Amazon just needs to get my Dremel and accessories here so I can do some more work. :-)
