If I sense decision paralysis coming on I try to remind myself most of these bolt-on parts & details are changeable later, though at some cost/loss. On my current 914 over the years I've switched exhausts, seats, steering wheels, shifters, wheels, gauges, decals, etc multiple times and IMO that's part of what makes the journey interesting.

The thing is you can be driving your car and change out your interior parts as you go. I had to have the vision as I was going along and had the help of the interior man Dale Hancock and Eric at PMB Performance. The problem with weaved leather is the cost of the material is super high and the minimum buy-in was enough to do a couple of cars, so I used it as a headliner and as a front cover for gas tank to cowl did 3 seats and door panels and still have some. I am kind of a leather freak as I love the smell of it in a car. I put leather on everything in the interior. From dash, all back panels, posts, visors even the back of the 2 drivers seats.
Enjoy this part of the journey, it can be fun and rewarding. Best Bob B    |

QUOTE(technicalninja @ Dec 30 2023, 08:56 PM)  Every time I see Geezer's shift knob I hear "I KIIILLL YOU"... It's Achmed the Dead Terrorist in a Nazi helmet!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Would be EVEN creepier is the jaws opened when you got close! Don't get me wrong, Geezer. I like it. It's Geezer "chic" That knob might influence my interior theme... Machine turned dash inlays would work. Think German Bomber parts... Seats with exposed aluminum framework; nicely dimpled holes. Proper "militaristic" steering wheel. That's how a theme can develop for me off of a single bespoke part. That one is definitely "bespoke" in my book. Use your imagination! Mine may have pissed Geezer off! I hope not... No offense taken, that shift knob is supposed to crack a smile on people's faces! |
