Definitely a top 5 DIY interior that I've seen. Are the seats from GTS classics? They look like some he was offering.

No sir, I tried Stephan he was just too busy for my schedule..... I went with Classic Touring Seats | Modern Seats with a vintage look He was ready to ship.....and considering I was having to recover what I bought, a bit less expensive.

Jon I am of no help with that question..... I love them. I use soft soled shoes when I drive and I do not daily drive this car......... Heck I just finished the car about 2 weeks ago.........finished is a relative term.

AG81,

She's a beauty, how did you manage a complete (all 3 vents) 86-89 dash?

Well done sir, and welcome.

Thank you Scott.
The Dash was the least of my issues. If it had looked like the seats and floors I would not have bought the car.

Cool build!
Just wondering what Bluetooth setup you are using?
I was going to buy a bluetooth amp (Kenwood) and radio delete but if there is an separate unit I can run might give me more amp options to choose from.

Beautiful build, Jules. I’m building the exact same car—white 85 coupe. Have you considered backdating the heating system? Really cleans up the engine compartment.

madcorgi....... I had no plans to back date or to do any major mods to this motor. I refreshed major parts and had every possible mechanical issue resolved. My long term plans are a 4.0l motor. I just wanted to get the car presentable, respectable and fun to drive.

Jules, I used a JL Twk-88 System Tuning DSP. This unit is way more sophisticated then I needed but integrated with the blue tooth and gives me remote volume and sub volume control. I used JL's XD700/5v2 5 channel amp and a Advanced Multi Audio Streaming interface -AMAS 2 by MOSCONI. This module is for streaming audio via Bluetooth. Devices with a profile such as smartphones, music players,pad and tablet connecting
via Bluetooth act as a source for the audio system.

Very nicely done. Congrats on a clean execution. I have an 89 Carrera and I am saving my pennies for a similar output except that I am going to backdate it (in a manner that can be put back to original).

I love the finer details like the exposed gear linkage and removable sub. Well done!!

Very kind words. Thank you.

Close up of the exposed shifter for those who have commented.

Can you post more pictures (with better lighting) of the carpet with the trackmats and rennline floorboards?

[AG81]

This is probably the best one I have right now.

[AG81]

And one more.
