Default My new interior...

Is pretty much done! Ok, well I need the face for the A/C control unit, and I still have to put in two or three plastic pieces, but my dash swap is over with! I was successful too. It took a month, or three, but that was because I wasn't able to work on it everyday. Stupid high school. Lol. Honestly though, if someone else with an early interior is looking to to a dash swap, I say go for it. What you get when it's all done is amazing. I would suggest having parts car though. That way you have the steering column, dash switches, etc. You can also see how everything was fitted on the newer car.

Oh, I'm also looking for a driver side door panel, with the window switch. If anybody happens to have one... Lol.

Thanks! Oh... you have no idea. Haha. I forced myself away from the car so I didn't break something. Ha.

Looking good! These cars' shifters sometimes remind me of a male genital, and I get reluctant to shift....

Thanks. I still do like the early interior too. My original plan was to to make my early interior perfect, but to do that it would have cost more than swapping for a late dash. So I figured what the hell. It also makes my 924S' rarer.

I hate tearing apart interiors worse than just about everything anything else on the car, esp. when fasteners start breaking. Kudos on your patience.

looks great! How did you get the speedo working/

Do you still have any of the parts from the old style interior left over? I'm particularly interested if you have the clock (and it was in good shape/working) and the other gauges. Maybe the door panels too, please shoot me a PM if you have any of that still. Thanks!

Thanks! I have (well on order) this little box that the speedometer cable hooks up to, and the box converts it to electric. It's... costly. Lol. Yes, I have some stuff left. Pm'ing...


luftpirate - Funny, because I love tearing interiors apart. Lol. Yes, I somehow managed to be patient. Lol.
