That's good news Doug, just make sure that orange thing is out of the way (i.e finished) before you move in

Looking forward to seeing your "orange thing" all done in the flesh too Dave. Good things take time.

Installed the new secondary bypass today. Can't start the engine to listen to her though.

Installed...

Repalaced the Momo branded horn button with a Porsche one from Sierra Madre. Much nicer

Leaving the installation of the FD Motorsport short shift kit with new billet aluminium shifter for Dan. 1990 models need a little "adjustment" in the tunnel for this kit.

Packing up all the bits and pieces ready for the move to Europacific at Pirongia next weekend

Lots of labelled boxes, labelled bags, all ready for the Europacific team

Looking great Doug. You'll have this back on the road in 3 months. Only thoughts are hand brake needs recovering as will let the side down with new gear lever and proto wheel. Did you decide to do anything hotrod with the exterior rebuild?

Macca

Its a small pile of parts. Where are the bumpers guards and other metal parts coming from?

O2GO

^^^ Steve R is doing the panel beating work including supplying good second hand guards, bumper and door. New panels were much more expensive, and costly to freight.

The interior will never be up to your std Macca :-). I'm leaving any more interior work until after the major exterior work is finished and I can count my pennies left. And the exterior will be standard apart from wheel colours and graphics. Std 964 panels.

O2GO

Oh, and top right, out of shot in the corner of the garage are a stack of under trays, trims, bumper reinforcement bar, etc

Macca

All good Doug. You have done a brilliant job of keeping the costs down on this project which I commend. To be honest I think you are making the right choice. Get her back to exactly how she was before then apply a vinyl graphic if you feel the need. I think it was a fine looking car with great stance just the way it was before personally. For the interior if there is money left have the handbrake level recovered and maybe play with some RS door card ideas. Of course you have you tach gauge in red to look forward to too. If you want a low cost black leather bucket seat solution talk to Jamie whos using my supplier and there is a low cost solution for track days and targa tours etc.

Thanks Macca. Lola has RS door cards already - made by hand by Dave :-)

I made a last minute snap decision to cover the door panels in suede. Not sure I was ever that happy with that because of the way the suede pile lays in different directions if you run your hand over it. It does look nice though after a good brush! The hole positions for the handle were just a random size to suit a handle I was going to machine up from solid but never got to it. The hole centers I think from memory were a tad too narrow for the RS handles you got hold of?
