Default life is good/life sucks... winter projects

in my never ending quest to make the cars as nice as possible (while still maintaining at least 1 road worthy shark) I think I have my work cut out for me this year
Current:87S4 w/46k I picked up from Jason in Sept.
tb/wp done, new t-stat doesn't seem to be working as it should so I need to swap that out, this Sat; removing the x-pipe and reinstalling factory cats (the car is way to loud for a daily), rack boots, t-stat, flush tranny and brake fluid... car is a completely different beast than the 88 green machine and is going to make a great daily driver for many years to come, I couldn't be happier.. except finding another option for the steering wheel (Momo doesn't give me full view of gauges) wheels (I don't like Cup style wheels and would be interested in trading these out to someone who may have something I like), need to add GTS mirrors as an addition to the GTS wing

Next: 88S4, major mechanical has been done a while and driven regularly, getting ready for major interior refresh prior to SITM, new dash, pod, removal and clean and fix/touchup all interior panels and carpet.. seriously considering removal of rear wing and some wider tires

Still havn't gotten around to taking the 77 apart for paint.... hell I still havn't gotten pics out to folks who are interested in the 79s (hey, I did have an 80' oak come down across the driveway).. damn I love my life

You might try the 930S steering wheel.

thanks Don, but I'm thinking this design by Paul in MarineBlue would fit me better
will the later wheel spline match up?

That wheel is beautiful, but I can't help thinking that the suede will not hold up well. Sweaty palms will discolor it, and it will look bad in short order...just my .02...

No. The early splines are 928 only. The airbag wheel splines match other Porsches. I forget if it's 944/968 or 964/993.
