NO on the black background wheels.

I agree with DD. don't do it.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That was one of those mods that guys did in the 70's-80's to make them look like 911 wheels. Original finish is sublime.

Your car looks Awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks Mike. It's almost ready to drive again. Going to be a busy day tomorrow.

The original visors were in really good shape except for the missing flap to cover the mirror. Use a little vinyl dye to freshen them up.

Today begins the throw down ...............
* Fuel supply. Plumb in the tank, pump and filter up front.
* Matt finishes up the cockpit
* Fuel supply engine end. Get the removal connections in a nice functional location.
* Finish up the final WeatherPack connections in the harness.
* Then the easy part, install the engine, half shafts and muffler.
* Oh yeah. figure out where to route the O2 wire so engine drops are simple.

Added cable wrap straps to trunk firewall to keep the harness up and out of the way. Makes it easy to drop the engine. They'll be trimmed to fit after final harness fitting ...

Mocking up ECU mounting and cable dress out ..............

The exposed wires at the connector will get wrapped in cloth tape as a final step. Porsche style.

Got the wheels polished but there are still a few blemishes that could be covered up with some black paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Finished restoration of the engine deck lid and installed the Rain tray. Now I will need to find a shorter air filter so the lid will have clearance to actually close

But then you'd have big black blemishes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I think they look nice as they are.

So much has happened recently that I have not had enough time to post all of the updates. I was talking with Cary and I have put in over 200 hrs this last month. Cary has been awesome and put in a ton of hours even staying at the some with me until 3 in the morning over the weekend. Here are some more updates

Went to go find my awesome original back pad to put back in the car and discovered that my brother had used it for making pattern updates and working of the foam for the back pad base that we are currently making. So I decided to just use the bases and put on some perlon and see how they would look
