Home Stretch - Interior In

[Don Plumley]

Made some progress over the past few weeks. With the suspension bolted in, it was time to finish up the interior. Previously I posted about relocating the DME so I could have clear access under the driver's seat for the sub strap bolts. Got those in, though I still have not figured out where/how to mount the inside lap belts.

I ordered an RS carpet kit from Appbiz back in January. Once, I looked at all the pieces and quickly put them back in the box. Unfortunately, now was the time to tackle this unusual three-dimensional puzzle -- without instructions. That's right, no published instructions for the 964 RS carpet kit. Looking at the 911 instructions helps, except that some major pieces are different or go in opposite, so basically, you keep laying pieces down until it starts to make sense.

Here's the start of the puzzle:





A few hours later, it looks like this:





I made a few mistakes (the next time will be so much easier), would have done a few things differently, but all in all, for a "street-legal track-car", I think it gets the job done.

Most of the rear carpet is not glued. If any of you remember my glue removing project, I don't want to do that again when I ultimately strip the car. I went ahead and put vinyl on the B pillars to make them look more finished. I also cut and installed the rear window trim pieces to finish off the side panels.

Those with good memories will recall that this car had a gray interior. I painted the center console and eBrake lever. I also installed the Momo Mod .07 wheel (essentially a Cup wheel) and for now, am debating the Momo shift knob/boot.

Just need to install the seats, the UltraLap, fire suppression, harness and dial in the suspension. Just a couple more weeks to go!

I wish i would have known about that carpet set for my car. I paid ALOT more for a used factory set. And the 964 kit fits in the 993?

What kind of steering wheel is that?

Looks good!

[Don Plumley]

Thanks - yeah, the 964 kit fits. There are a couple of places where it's not ideal, but would work for most.

It's a Momo Mod .07 - a factory Cup wheel.

Now the fun part - just like you - connecting the battery. I've moved the DME, unplugged tons of stuff, will be interesting to see what works and what doesn't!

>>connecting the battery<<

Godspeed.. !

Can't wait to see your track dawg in person. I'm sure we'll run into each other (I hope not literally) at Sears or Thunderhill. I'm in Benicia.

[Don Plumley]

Look forward to seeing you there too!

Don, looking good. What did you ever do for headliner??

Cheers

Jeff - I cobbled one together out of a sheet of heavyweight vinyl and a can of super strength adhesive. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done. There are some pics in this thread .

Thanks for the info!
