As expected, it took Marc the best part of the day to trim the dash but the results speak for themselves:

Note the 1989 Carrera 4 stalks which have exactly the same functions and decals as the 1974-89 911 version.

Amazing project!

Was the dash sent out for the alcantra covering or did you do that your self? Looks sharp.

Thank you, we have a good friend Andy who does all our work, a luxury car custom interior trimmer by trade, he obviously has the skill to retrim all 9m93 Speedster and 9m93RS interiors to the highest standards. I'll pass on everyone's complements the next time I see him.

Good news at last!

New custom made GT3 gear cables arrived today which will finally allow us to fit the gearlever and check the change mechanism modifications on the gearbox. Once these get the thumbs up we can strip the box, fully weld the belcranks, rebuild it and tick it off the to-do list.

Also landing in the office this afternoon were the freshly trimmed console and door panels which I will photograph properly when they are going on the car. This means that the replacement hide has arrived so Andy has promised to work on the seats over Easter and have them to us next week.

More later.
