Nice work on that dash! I think that'll be a great compliment to your unique color.
I'd love to be able to see this in person as it's going to be a stunner! Great stuff, really great stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

The engine is pretty much done and being installed at the moment. Ceramic coated MSDS headers going on too.

That may be one of my favorite colors! Looks great but I would be nervous working on the rest of the car after the exterior paint was done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

A fair bit has happened recently, but I'll jump forward to the interior that I finished a few weeks ago.
I laid down a layer of Carbuilders acoustic foam to go between the sound deadening and the carpet: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1611208217.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1611208217.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1611208218.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1611208218.4.jpg) |

I then made a start on the carpet, also from Carbuilders (Melbourne). It's not a 914 kit, I started with a roll of raw material. It's not the most hard-wearing carpet around, but it goes around corners really nicely and easy to glue down and trim to size.
Since I threw the factory backpad in the bin a couple of years ago, it's been my intention to carpet all the way up to the rear glass, so that's what I did.

BEAUTIFUL
I went to the Thorotec website and can't find the shifter. What they have looks completly different. Do you have any more information? How does it mount to the shift rod? |

I can't speak on behalf of Thorotec regarding their product stock, but here are a few closeups of mine, if that helps...

I rolled the car out into daylight for the first time in many months to take a look last week. The windscreen has since been fitted, but here's a peek at how things are looking so far.

It's definitely yours. All sorts of cool touches. I like the color and it being on the whole body. I do miss the rubber bumper top. Nice job. When you start driving it around, I'd sure like to hear more about that shifter.
