And we're getting closer! Still need the CF door panels, and the final odds and ends, hopefully I'll be able to make a proper post before the end of the week.

Again, my apologies for the iPhone pics, but I'll take what I can get right now.

Excellent color choice, this looks so much nicer than the original. Great job on the build.

Simon, the black carpet is brand new. I did get new floor mats though, so my interior is mint!

This looks so right, perfect interior color combo. The blue was very nice too IMO, but this really takes it to another level. Red with CF bits, excellent choice!!

to match with the rest , you'll also need to change the door opening strap as bleu colour can't remain

That's the plan. I should be getting the CF panels this week and I'll change out the straps then. I think I'll have some made in the same leather just for fun though.

Anyway, as an update on what's taking so long... The headliner was causing some issues with the sunroof operation, and it's at the upholstery shop getting worked out, so hopefully it won't be much longer! At least I'll have the panels in and the clear wrap done too before I pick her up, I just need to be patient

Default RUF

Miss my RUF ..... but clearly I could have not picked a better new owner as you suffer from the same illness I have (mod mod mod!) ..... Congrats, looks absolutely amazing.

Well, these days in a much slower toy (83 wagon) for a fun car with the family (but of course modded) Hoping in the fall to get back into a sports car.... looking into a RWB/Welt Build, Dare I say The Hellcat looks like a blast and even the new Z06 looks interesting....

Take care and again car looks amazing....can't wait to see more exterior and interior pics...

Thank you Steve, it's been quite a ride already! The body work, and the interior have completely transformed her. I would never have taken it on if it wasn't your (our) obsession to get it just right. The mechanical work you did has her running flawlessly, and without your dedication to make it perfect on the inside, I wouldn't have spent what I did making exactly how I would have ordered it. Let me know if your ever planning on coming to LA. Well go for a good drive!

Default 95%!

Guess what i brought home with me on Wednesday? I finally picked up my car and after 24 hours of the battery dying, I'm confident I got it worked out. At first it seemed the clock being out (manual boost gauge conversion being done) was causing an issue energizing the alternator. After putting in a temporary clock all seemed fine until i stopped for gas. Luckily i was able to get a jump at the station and called my shop (TRE). Jeremy suggested changing the batter and WHAM, all is working as it should.

I must say this took much longer than i had expected, but the end result was worth it. My interior is mint, and exactly as i would have ordered it. I'm just waiting on the RS CF panels with red pulls and the Alcantara covered visors. I took some DSLR shots in my parking lot at the office, but i need to get it outside for a proper shoot... enjoy!
