Is that one of those dash tops in leather made in England?

the dash was done by a local guy up her in the Montréal area, he does a lot of custom upholstery motorcycle seats, saddle bags etc
his name is Rod Alves

Great Car!

Paul, beautiful project!

I will be in Montreal on the January 19-20 week-end...

Sending pm

I saw these on Instagram, they look great!

The dash went in without too much trouble, had a couple of times practice as I had put the frame in before getting the wiring sorted
Then had forgotten to put the glove box...I guess practice makes perfect
It’s coming together nicelyClick to view attachment Click to view attachment

Great looking car.

The stitching on your dash looks perfectly straight.
Very clean !

Heading off to the Montreal auto Show
Incredible how the lighting affects the look of the color

Will post some quality pictures from the car show in a week or soClick to view attachment

Wow that was quick! Beautiful car!!

Beautiful car. Would love to see some pics of the engine and interior.

That is by far the nicest dash I've seen. Love the stitching.

Very timely as I was just contemplating the topic of having my dash recovered in leather the other day.

Inspirational Work.

The dash looks great, but I'm really loving the front bumper. FG?

Boy..that dash would look nice in my LSV8914...just saying!!!

Great looking car.

Car looks incredible. Really interesting bumper. Did you have that made? What's the story on it?

The bumpers front and back are all metal, as are the rockers and of course the flares (thanks to Pete at Restoration Design... )

I never did like the rubber bumper tops and the 916 style FG bumpers we were looking at installing were really not up to the quality we were aiming for. A little more work, but I really think that they turned out great...and one of a kind.

Beautiful work on everything. That is the nicest looking leather dash I have ever seen on a 914. The bumper modifications are just right too.

Thanks for the kind comments
We are very happy with how everything turned out!

Got the seats today, just in time. Will post pictures soon.

Beautiful...Damn...that poster would motivate me too

Oscar

Now the long wait for spring when I will finally be able to take it out for a drive...

Your car looks terrific. The upholstery is first class. The bolsters on the seats were done right and the stitching looks perfect. Congrats!

What have you done for the engine and trans?

bravo beautiful!!!

The engine is a 3.2 from an ‘89 carrera mated to the 901 transmission that I rebuilt and regeared (AFOX flipped H) under the excellent guidance of the not so evil Dr Evil
