Dadgum , that do look great !!! Not to hijack , but is the lever cover plastic or metal ?? I got a set of those top lever covers that are made of metal as well as some plastic ones . Just didn't know that they ever came in a metal edition.
Fantastic color and build here dude !!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Metal is on the early cars, plastic on the later ones. Someone smarter than me probably knows the transition year.

I put on plastic, but I had a metal set in my garage too. The plastic ones fit better with the reupholstered trim

With Jurgen's help, I figured out that I needed to cut a slit in the reupholstered upper windshield trim, so the targa latches could grab the catch

I got the trim screwed into place

I read too many stories about how the sound of the /6 was sweet, but would quickly cause pain to your ears. The under carrage and engine compartment are coated with LineX, but I lined the interior too.

I installed the seat belts, although i know I'll need to pull them out again when the carpet goes in. I'll also need to pickup a set of "PRESS" stickers for the belts as these have long ago faded

I got this crazy idea to make my own fabric dash face. After carefully making two of them trying to get it right, I decided I didn't like the look. I glued on the OEM one that came with the car.

I got the glove box door installed now and the springs on both sides weren't difficult to install.

I installed new rubber seals in the front trunk and the doors today. Not sure what direction the seal between the fuel and tire should face, but its easy enough to reinstall.
