Armando Serrano just posted the pictorial of the conversion I am having done. Just about no stone left unturned in making this an EXACT reproduction using a really nice original 914/6. When it is done it will be concours quality, but, will be a driver as far as I am concerned! Have a look:

Michael R....the guy doing the restoration made the seats as an exact copy of the real GT seats. His upholstery shop had a set from a real GT (Glenn Stazak) in for work...as long as he had them apart he took a mold of them and recreated them. To this day no one actually has definitively said whether they were made by Scheel or Recaro or neither. The Scheel seats that are seen around with the headrest look similar, but, when put side by side with a set of real GT seats...are different.

As for the engine shroud.....I do not know where he sourced this particular one but, there is a guy on Pelican under the name of "series900" who makes them which many people are happy with.

Brant, Looks good, no front oil cooler? Last time we talked you were looking for early 911 s heads to twin plug to make a hot 2.0? Are you still building that motor? It's funny, I never intended this project to become this involved. Just turned out that once you get started the ideas start to flow and then the money flows out of your pocket. Never had an intention to do the interior to that level, never had an intention to do the rally lights...then you think it just looks cool without realizing how expensive a set of hood mounted Cibies are and what is then cost to wire and mount them...and if you do those then you also need to do the other Cibies which are a lot cheaper to buy but, even more labor intensive to fab brackets and mount and wire....
