Just a quick update. I dropped a set of seats,arm rests and center console pad to the apholstry shop with the leather. They will be starting on it tomorrow and plan to be fairly stock looking seats. I will be like an expecting father in the waiting room for the next few days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I haven't really done any more to the parts I'm doing. I decided to paint my youngest sons 944. I'll be back on it in a few days.

Sorry, dont want to change topics on this thread but noticed that digital meter you have on your very nice leather covered dash and was wondering what that is??

James (morph) covered my dash in leather 5 years ago and it still looks like the day I got it---awesome workmanship. No signs of aging/shrinking. The car is garaged from the intense CA valley sun which I'm sure has helped.

Looks like an A/F meter (air fuel).

I didn't see one. Thanks for the complement. I decided to do the dash in vinyl instead of leather. Worried about shrinking too much.
Cost has not been too bad so far.

Bob did my seats in leather euro perf and they look awesome. The bolsters, center arm rest & back pad are all smooth non perforated leather

Waiting on the dash to be completed by my Upholstery guys. Figured I would do some work on the rest of the car. Put foot well courtesy lights in and added carpet to the frunk. I should have everything ready for teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Here are a couple of pictures. Hopefully I can get them to load right side up.

Wow your front trunk looks awesome. Did bob (classic 9) do this for you? I was planning on having my trunk repainted but that looks so much better

Thanks!
I didn't get the carpet from Bob. I bought the carpet locally and cut the pieces myself. It isn't that hard to do if you take your time. I made the pattern for one side out of scrap carpet then used that to make both sides. Glued with a vinyl top adhesive. Amazing how it changed the trunk and the noise it makes when you open and close it.
