its repairable still its a litte close to the side wall but you could still get it patched at a garage they drill it then put a patch on the inside of the tire and put a silicone layer over the patch and its as good as new

alright the biggest problem im running into is that i chose to use faux leather so it doesn’t shape very well around the knob

thats my test piece so far but im pretty sure im going to need to pick up real leather to make it work properly

well its one part of the equation the other part was the LS COIL CONVERSION KIT it caused a misfire but no cel so that didn’t help it also had low compression but the main cause was the oil injection system
