Getting going on the rebuild. Got the underside of the roof all insulated and soundproofed. Test fit the headliner bows and took all the measurements I needed yesterday. Planning to sew up my headliner today so I can install that in the coming days. Once that is done, I can set all the glass and then start punching down the list in reverse order of how I took it all apart.
Can you create a thread to show the rebuild process? Or keep posting pics here? Would love to see it all come back together

Sure, will try to post updates here.
If you're on instagram @boomboomthump I typically post videos/pics on my stories. They end up disappearing but its a lot easier to post the play by play.
WOW! I didn't realize how much you are doing personally! Adds to the great project! Incredible. What great attention to detail. I can't wait to see end product !!??
Tonight's project... reassemble the mirrors. For anyone who didn't catch my how-to on disassembling mirrors, here it is. Just performed the steps in reverse and ended up with quite a few calluses on my hands. Those springs are no joke! Sidenote: will likely get some new glass for the mirrors. Hadn't noticed previously that they have quite a new nicks, especially the passenger side glass.
I also did some minor prep work and surface cleaning in the car to get ready for the headliner install on Saturday.
Fantastic color choice! Not that you care, because you’re not selling, surely this respray increased the value of your car.
How many other “while you’re in there” upgrades has this inspired? Obviously the headliner and interior bits are upgraded. Anything mechanical?
Can’t wait to see this on the road!
Only things for now are: RS motor mounts, Rennline tubular engine carrier, MPL slave cylinder (RS clutch is a bear), rebuilt the whole Varioram intake to address some leaks and powder coated it black, converted to a Clewett pulley setup, rebuilt the dual distributor and resealed the timing chain covers and valve covers.
Not much else planned for right now other than getting the car back together. It already has KW V3's. After I enjoy it a bit, may head down the rabbit hole of other suspension bits and bushings. Also toying with building my own full Ti exhaust setup (yes, I tig weld too).
Thank you for sharing this with the forum. This is amazing! What a display of your skills. Its going to be one of the finest and unique 993s in the world.
