That looks fantastic! If the interior's as nice as the engine bay, you've got a 99th percentile shark there!

Holy Chit Mang! Beautiful...As mentioned earlier I admire / appreciate the attention to detail. Playing with an '88 myself I respect your effort.

I'm guessing the braided stainless is a covering? Still very nice...Kind of looks like mine

Well, it's been a little over a year and I thought I would give you guys a look at some more of the work that has been going on in the Byrd house. Most of the interior I have had done for a long time, just never posted pics. Enjoy!

Pic #1: All leather interior with 911 steering wheel
Pic #2: auto shifter with stitched leather console
Pic #3: GTS stitched A-pillars
Pic #4: Stitched leather dash and pod

Next pic is my luggage cover from Paul. It has been posted before. I do plan on replacing the sub box with something a little more refined. I got a Z-box, but it is for the older body style. I might have to come up with something else and put it in the '84 Euro.

Car looks absolutely stunning. I wasn't around when you orginally posted so missed it the first time around. Congratulations on a super effort.

One question, do you anticipate any strnge sort of electrolysis between the braided steel lines and the aluminum contacts with the engine? I am not smart on this sort of stuff, but on my boat, it is bad to mix steel with aluminum.

Here in Missouri we are forced to have the lame front license plate. I had the stock mount on there forever and always hated it. Here is the new bracket I just finished making. It looks much better at the same angle as the bumper instead of vertical.
