Well, I surprised myself this morning. The trim shop couldn't cover the knee pad because I hadn't finished it. So I had a go and it turned out great. Bit of hair dryer on the compound angle parts and it all conformed well.

Heater control. This was a bit worn looking so I painted it while in the car when the dash was in pieces and trim plate off. It seemed much easier masking the whole inside of the car than taking the control unit out.

There was no way that I was going to be able to make a good job of hand painting in the colours so had these graphics cut

There is an annual Motor racing Festival in January. This year Porsche is the featured marque and I've entered so thought I'd better get it looking at least a little bit authentic

Pictures of your T are a pure joy to look at.

Pure sex Dave. Please overtake me often during the festival, just so I can enjoy it going past!

If it's really finished, what next?

That's a good question. The T was built as a fast road / occasional track car. I will not likely develop it any further, with perhaps the exception of a SW chip, a harness bar and harness, some more wheels and play with the ride height and geo a bit. So I'll enjoy it and drive it as much as I can - it's a no excuses car and I won't be sparing it. I like that it is essentially a new car with everything rebuilt.
So the next project is unknown, Perhaps a narrow body early G series with a big motor?
I've sort of got that in the SC but that is too nice to start modifying but a big motor wouldn't go a miss.

993 is auctioned on the 6th. That will likely have a nice 3.6 looking for a home.

We did a photo shoot yesterday, but the output wasn't to my previous standard. A few good ones though

Experimenting with the 6 and 7 cookies with 205-60-15's.
I think there might be some rubbing if I set the car lower.
