Glove Box door upholstery
Today I've decided to change the leather from a glove box door that I bought from Germany in Ebay.
I've asked to someone to make this service, but he asked me about US$ 200.00 and one week, because it is a very complicated job, blá blá blá...
Once I have some leather laying around I decide to do it my self, and after one our... here the result:
Unfortunately I lost the picture from before, will post in case it shows up
It´s looking so nice !

Thank you all for words of encouragement...
Was a tremendous effort and a huge challenge put this car back to life, working just few hours on Saturdays, documentation in different language, no parts available locally and many people at local Porsche Dealer saying "It's a waste of money and time, because this car will never run again !"
It would be very difficult without the information provided on this forum, patient people like Roger Tyson (I think he is suffering a lot trying to understand my poor English) and 928 International, friends like Elieser, Charles, Marcio Pele, Marcio and Newtinho.
But it was impossible without the help, encouragement and engagement of Claudio, one friend and brother. He is helping me since the beginning with interior restoration and many other tasks.
This guy encouraged me many times to moving forward, even in difficult days, like the one when he saw me crying after we discovered the leaking gasket, and said "DON´T GIVE UP ! WE WILL FIX IT !"
Sorry to bother you guys with that, but i think it's important to let you know that behind this restoration project has passion and friendship.
It's not finished yet ! Keep watching
Thank you !
