Progress during the winter-with pics.
Inspired by Sam Grant's and Rich Sandor's outstanding cars I also decided to delight the Rennlist community with pictures of my ride... 
I was inspired a lot by all original Clubsport versions and tried to save weight as much as possible in interior items,because my new brakes add weight quite much.
Seats, doors and side panels are upholstered in leather and original fabric,inner roof in vinyl.I made a mold from original sunroof and then a fiberglass/pu-foam sandwich panel using that mold.Door panel innings are fiberglass too.Seats are "Pole Positions" with Sparco adapters and sliders.
Rear seat is still in,but after seen Rich's carpet project,it might go out too...
Then there's brakes,wheels,front suspension re-conditioning,new old wastegate converted to dual port etc done during the long,dark winter.
OT: Sorry Canada...about ice hockey... =)

Whoa, whoa, whoa....WHOA! Nice car man!!! Those are my favourite wheels on a 944 by far...and I love the clear sidemarkers...Where are you located? Is that a euro model, or just euro bumper? I notice you have the sidemarkers up front, but not in the rear, nor on the front quarter panels.
Where did you get the clear lenses for the taillights, turnclear.com? How do they fit/look up close? I'm looking to get some if they actually look nice...

I'm in Finland ( hence the reference to ice hockey ),but my car is US model,shipped from CT/NY Finland in 1991,first owner worked there at that time.Rear side markers were blocked during re-paint two years ago.And yes,all clear plastic parts are from Joakim ,ie. Turnclear.Can't complain the quality,fitment is all up to your own competence.

About that fabric and seats...yes,it's all custom made.Fabric I managed to get from Germany,I got a hint from a friend,whose friend does some business with this guy...there's some old stock somewhere... PM me for details.
Also Southbound Trimmers in UK should have some original fabrics ( so I heard ),but they don't answer to e-mails.

I LOVE IT!!!
The interior is A+++ especially the colour matched Recaros!! AWSOME!
I would have gone with red calipers, though, the yellow is too much. But otherwise A+++
