I used a bit of heat to try to make a more defined bend just below the overflow fitting.

I have not checked the latest list in a while. Looks like slow progress.

Back to soft stuff. This is PVC edge trim (from J&J Auto Fabrics).
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:41 PM
This edge measures 1/8 x 3/4".
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:43 PM
I spread the opening to make it possible to insert the soft perlon panel cut edge.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:44 PM
The other ingredient: 3/4" 3M adhesive tape.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:45 PM
Step 1: run the 3M tape along the lower edge of the glass.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:47 PM
Step 2: Get the PVC edging on the perlon cut edge, and try to make it even (not shown).
Step 3: Pull the covering off the tape and stick the edging in place.

I like it.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:49 PM
With the edge in place, I could install the side targa pads.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 07:58 PM
Then I got out the seat belt hardware. This is the kit for mounting the shoulder yokes.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 08:00 PM
Here's the order: bolt-plastic washer-yoke-plastic washer-large metal washer-metal spacer.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 08:02 PM
Yoke mounted on the left side.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 08:03 PM
And the plastic cover.
bkrantz
Jul 5 2021, 08:07 PM
Now that the back panel is done, I can start on the carpet set. This one is from Performance 900 Porsche interiors.

When I had my case work done the only thing removed were the head studs so they could deck it. Did your shop tell you to do all that?
I was at J&J not to long ago, the family that has had it forever is no longer there.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:14 PM
I will almost certainly need to ship my case for machining. And I did not trust my packing or the carrier to keep any studs from damage.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:18 PM
Carpet day1.
I got out my contact adhesive. Brush-on for the car interior, and spray-on for the back side of the carpet.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:19 PM
First piece: the small section that goes above the pedals.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:20 PM
In place.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:21 PM
Then the left fender well cover.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:22 PM
Pretty smooth.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:24 PM
Passenger footwell and right fender well. I cut the opening to mount around the steering shaft.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:25 PM
With all the complex shapes, I could not avoid some wrinkles. But the center console will hide those.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:27 PM
Front tunnel cover. I decided to trim it around the shifter flange.
bkrantz
Jul 6 2021, 07:28 PM
A bit fiddly, but done.
Morph914
Jul 6 2021, 08:33 PM
Nice job! I have done all mine except the center tunnel piece. I am waiting until all my electrical issues are straitened out before putting that piece and the center counsel in.
Love seeing your progress, keep it coming!
Cheers,
John

Carpet day 2!
Right sill piece.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:10 PM
Installed, pretty straight.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:11 PM
Left sill piece.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:13 PM
The left sill challenge: the hand brake indentation, plus the brake mounting stuff.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:14 PM
Initial placement. I decided I want the carpet rows to be straight on top of the sill.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:16 PM
Now to get the carpet stretched a bit, and stuck into the recess.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:16 PM
Getting there.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:18 PM
Bottom pieces placed for visual check. I plan to use velcro on these.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:20 PM
New GO pedal.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:21 PM
Installed. Note: bolts can't be longer that 12 mm.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:23 PM
Replacement pedal board, with some new hardware. The original board on my car was a bit curvy.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:24 PM
Board installed.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:25 PM
And carpet, too.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:26 PM
Now for seat belts.
bkrantz
Jul 7 2021, 08:26 PM
Fancy.

Jul 7 2021, 09:08 PM
Love that new car smell

Great work! And great attention to detail, even the clamps to hold the carpet in place are yellow like your car.

Excellent carpet install - not a surprise.

Plus the heat gun on the floor. I used that a VERY little bit on the carpet before clamping.

I could not resist seeing how it looks with the center console. I had that recovered last year.
bkrantz
Jul 8 2021, 07:52 PM
Then I got out all the brake lever parts.
bkrantz
Jul 8 2021, 07:54 PM
Short cable, equalizer, and spring installed.
