'85 OUTLAW // Build Thread

[AG81]

This has been my CV19 project the past few months. Continuing to clean up the entire case and trailing arms. Replaced the rear sway bar bushings and drop links with new Porsche parts. Spring plates are getting attention too.

That's such a nice build

Thank you AutoXer23

Would love to hear the RSR headers and M&K exhaust combination.

[AG81]

Sounds pretty good Pete...... Not as aggressive as my 2 in 1 out previous setup tho. The previous setup with SS heat boxes had a lot of deceleration gurgling and popping. Really fun at underpasses.
I really like this set up I have now for the consistent tone and added power it seems to have provided. Lost some decent weight with the conversion too.

Just finished some straps for the rear seats and hopefully some luggage.

Can I ask where you've gotten the embossed leather? I've struggled to find anywhere that'll sell it to me (planning to do my own upholstery as well)

[AG81]

dave...i had a friend get it for me. He manages a auto upholstery fabric warehouse. Where a auto trim shop would get their material. Our wives worked together for years. I am not sure of the manufacturer.

[davekillen]

Ah, gotcha... thanks!

Those side stripes look great. Who did you get those from?

And could you measure the height of the Porsche letters?
Are they 3", 3.5" or 4"?
Thanks

Your car is looking great with all those custom touches of yours.

Will do skinnerd this evening..... Stripe came from...Renndecals

Doug - I've got some silver Porsche stripes (will have to dig them out) that are all yours if you come pick them up in the 914 or Kermit

Thank you Chris.

I built the frames, bought the material, cut the patterns, and made the retaining straps.

I had a friend sew it together.

Spectacular; extremely well done. Now you have to plan some trips and use 'em!!

What type of basket weave vinyl did you use? Where did you get it?
