I love my sentra B14 manual, so wanna redo all over again. Few things I wanna work on:

1. repaint inside out (remove carpet & seats)
2. change engine mounting (quite costly i heard)
3. wrap dashboard and steering with leather (seats also if price reasonable)
4. change tear & wear parts (rubber and bushes)
5. no touch engine part.

Can someone suggest workshop around KL that is good. The best around Puchong or Wangsa Maju. If can suggest rough cost, that is great!

I understand that this kind of job done by performance workshop not those normal servicing mechanic. pls enlighten me.
Look up, look down, look left & right.. but dun forget to look at urself.

Thanks guys for the reply. I plan to do paint work and replace parts first. The accessories come later coz most important is body must 'leng ceng' (remove rust) hahahaha...

I'm using Titan Abs and that make me don't mind rough ride. I welcome any suggestion to improve ride. i love it coz it's manual. maybe rear anti roll bar too (how much?)...

I know fkmfkm was long time sentra-man and bro vr2turbo is sifu level...
