Hi, I had been lurking here for awhile. I signed up and have made a few posts but I have not posted any pics of my project. It is not of the calibre of some here but it is turning out reasonable well. I have made a few upgrades mostly cosmetic. Carpeted trunks, removed side marker lights, stainless steel dash/step plates.Basic hardware upgrades as well. Turbo tie rods 140# rear springs, 22mm torsion bars, stiffening kit, gas shocks for the trunk, I used a rabbit wiper switch for the addition of a washer pump, etc....It is still very much "in the works". I was wondering if anyone has a good pass. side footrest. The larger foam piece. I have a good small one if somebody wants it. I would really like to get one fairly soon as I am trying to get this thing done while I am off work. Thanks

Dylan,

welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (in case I missed your first post) The car looks great, it appears you are not too far away from having that bad boy finished.

looks like its coming along. It takes alot of time to do everything right, and it seems that you have a sound chassis to start off with. Welcome to the board!

You can get some vinyl dye and make the center console look like new...

I recommend... Surflex...

They have the correct black for Porsche cars. Very easy to work with...

Hi, it was a fairly sound car to begin with. Here is a little background. I first saw the car shortly after it
had been on fire! Not a little fire either. The engine lid and rear trunk were destroyed right rear tire/cv
boot ect. were very much burned. And of course the fire dept. were not very concerned about the car so
its treatment was poor. It ended up being a right off. A guy I knew bought it with the intention of restoring
it. I had mentioned that I wanted it but he was determined to give it a go. A few years passed and he
gives me a call. He had given up. Unfortunately he had not given up until he had completely disassembled
the car. He chose to remove the wiring harness by cutting it at the centre tunnel and pulling from both
ends. A great many other parts were removed with similar techniques. I foolishly packed it all up and
headed home. The jack points were rusted off completely as well as some of the usual rust. I went
through a pile of mig wire to get it here. This may explain why I may ask some silly questions. I just do not
know where some thing go. I did not take the car apart so it's been a struggle getting it back together. I
have found this site a great tool for both technical expertise and motivation. Thanks for all the support.
BTW If anyone does have that footrest on a parts car or something just let me know what you want for it.
There are not too many teeners in Calgary.

Thanks!

I have one. 80$ plus shipping. No rips/tears and the "strap" is still in place with the working clip. I can also send you the piece that screws to the frame rail for the clip.

Here is the close up. 250 kph spedo was a score. Considering I live in Canada. Yep just dust on the
console brought it up from the basement tonight. Brad, I think we are talking about the same thing but
different. I am not looking for the retro carpeted one just the hunk of foam that sits forward most in the
passenger foot well. It lives under the carpet. If your not following me I can take a pic of the trashed one.

Finally! a price I can afford. Let me know how much for shipping and I will paypal or something. I bought a speedo cable quite a while back. I went to install it today and the boots are backwards. Since the parts house that supplied them was not helpfull (past 30 days ) I thought I'll just buy one here from Porsche.$237.00!!! not for the whole car just the speedo cable. Needless to say I am just going to live with the boot the way they are.
