Some dash sections done.





Loads more to follow as the seats, doortops, RS doorcards, gear gaitor & gear ****, handbrake handle, rest of the dash & a spare steering wheel handstitched by Andy toooooooo.

 

More special bits!







But am sure this momo steering wheel which hasn't got the Porsche inscription will be trimmed for a spare.

 

The RS doorhandles as shown just below were measured up to every mm, then replicated in Alu from the proper one and hopefully retrimmed in better leather than Porsche genuine handles

These are the ones I've replicated...





Every grove and indentation was measured.



All thanks to a guy in the Jaguar Factory

 

"Mr Bling" sticker..... love it!

Lovin the attention to detail here Norm.

 

The stitching is perfect.......hats off to Andy he's defo got the magic touch!!

 

Looking good,,,

show us the door cards please,,, what are you doing with the gearknob and handbrake?

 

Will do Gaz, the gearknob & gaitor & handbrake matching with blue stitching like the matching steering wheel, dash and center console.

Andy is one of the best in the game, and flawless as he's the head foreman trimmer for a prestigious car manufacturer.

Oh thanks for lending me the doorhandles Gaz

 

Very very nice Norm!

What kind of seat is that? Recaro SPG?

Is Andy the talented guy who also does a lot of the work on the 9M cars?

It looks great regardless, very cool!

Best Regards V

 

Awesome Norm!
Just waiting till yours is finished to start re-assembling mine.

 

Update time?

 

Hi Matt!

as promised due to busy times, but hopefully this next week a lot will take shape.

Here are some interior bits trimmed by Andy has come through. Certain parts like the Alcantara dash, leathered handbrake can be fitted to the car whilst other parts are getting trimmed as we speak.

See what you think about the bits so far....







In Maritime blue stitching with black alcantara, note the raised passenger side section (close to the screen) of the dash like how a factory leather dash looks. If you look at a standard dash reminding you below, it shows an indent section which is plated from factory and trimmed. It wouldn't work if leather is trimmed over as it will leave a gap. Do I make sense?



From the Driver side now....

 

Enough to get me started again...







Even the handbrake handle has been beautifully trimmed in leather. Excuse the dark pictures.

 

That is some stunning work. Might have to get my hand brake done

 

Awesome.

 

Thanks guys! Hopefully these next few weeks there will be a bit more progress having been absent for 3 weeks due to work.

Today there had been some progress thanks to Andy the trimmer who helped leather the surrounding of the dash clock.

Here it goes...starting out with a clean bare dash.



Andy places a nice piece of leather over the dash clock surround with glue laid from behind.





originally thinking it was easy to just get a template of the original and cut out accordingly. But nope, the correct way of doing it would be to place a fresh uncut sheet of leather, glued and stretch.....and
