2014 Chevy Cruze: Budget build thread

[J_Corr]

honestly, knowing GM they will screw it up. I think the current Cruze is the best looking economy car GM has ever made and one of the best looking ever.

Well 5 hours in and first piece is in. There is hardly anything online about how to take parts out. It was a little never racking removing the air bags my trial and error. Lucky for me I got it first time around.

Dat Cruze non rear seat!

[fortplainman]

FUCK THAT this rocket is heavy as fawk. 4148lbs on the door tag. As first I want like this can tow how much? Then was all HOLY fuck this car is heavy. :mindblown:

I know it is only a start, but these seats honestly are a PITA!!!!! Trial and error. Most of the holes line up but are way to small. For the seat release I spend an hour and half slowly trimming leather till it finally fit. Better to small than to big. My gut was turning cutting almost $2k worth of seats. BUT I got it close, there are a few wrinkles but I guess I am just to picky. I hope over time they smooth out.

seat release, both bottom corners and their wrinkles:

looks good, once you get a few people sitting in and out of it, it should get them to fit a little better,

 

[J_Corr]

psssf after what I spent on them, no one will be sitting on them. If they do, I will have them put, keys, wallet, change and belts in map box. And no blue jeans :lol:

 

[Ginger]
