I’m trying to keep the car as original as possible (except I’ll be running the bigger engine - with the original all tucked away). I did however install a USB Attached Image

So I was a excited when I got home a bit early tonight and decided to install the center console with gauges. But why wouldn’t the console fit properly??? It wouldn’t line up correctly...so then I noticed I had installed the heater lever around the wrong way...with the bend facing towards the driver...so I had to rip it all out and then turn it around and re-push the steel wires back into the engine bay..

I managed to get that far and called it quits before I messed something up..I always know when I’m getting to that point.

Oh, that's a PITA delay of game. At least you got it done. Reinstalling the center console is no joy either, go slow.

If you've driven the car with the console and find that your right foot doesn't have enough room, consider replacing the back piece (closest to the frunk) with a narrower one. I did it and it made a great difference, much more comfortable to drive.

Car looks great. NE BBQ and tech on Saturday. A short drive for you... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A little bit more progress = installed the pedal cluster and gear shift.

However, I have this small round flexible rubber bushing left over? near front of photo.... I thought it might be for the accelerator ? But can't seem to figure out where it goes?

An when you finish your going to have a new 914.... What a beauty. Mike Kelly
