My car's been sitting under cover in my heated garage for almost 3 months and we finally got a nice day with the salt washed off the roads. I just had to take it out of it's cacoon and go for a blast. Damn! I almost forgot how much fun it was to drive this thing.

A 914 with gobs of torque if hard to beat! Sorry, just so phsych'd to leave the gloomy freezing ass weather for a day that I just had to share (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A couple interior shots





Absolutely will kill for that interior, well actually for the entire car. What material did you use for the dash face plate? I'm thinking about covering the dash with something, more of a race application just to cover the skeleton but along those lines.

KickaSS!

Are you going to come out to any NNJR AutoXs? I'll see you there!

The dash face material is a countertop laminate I ordered from Lowes (Wilson Art). It's called "brushed stainless" and looks like brushed stainless without the finger print issues. It's very easy to work with, won't scratch very easily and it's easy to keep clean. I've heard some people knock using the laminate, but I think it's perfect for the application. I used a roto-zip to cut the pieces....easy.

I don't have a pic that does it justice since the flash causes a reflection that kills the detail making it look almost white in photos.
