[gsmith660]

Looks very nice could you detail how you attached the screens inside your quarters and fenders please.

Wachuko - I am finishing up my build of a '73 RSR backdated from an '85 and noticed the between the seats seat belt attachments on your recent photo. The two seat belt attachments in the rubber enclosure. What year did those come from?

Looking amazing! I have to say though...I much prefer the chrome headlight rings to the black. The Chrome is a little more subtle, and feels like it blends better aesthetically. Just my .02.

I am with you... I think I will leave the black rings off... The beauty of having options

Carpet set... I like it. But really do not remember what vendor I got it from I bought three set, all from different vendors... one for the RSR, one for my 964, and the one that came with the RS project...

Let me try and see if I can find the invoice.

One option for license plate lights is to go to a motorcycle shop (in person or on line) and buy license plate bolts that have LEDs in them.

Beautiful car btw!

TRE sells 74 RSR plate lights.

Those are fixed in place with epoxy. I will share a photo tomorrow.

Installed a piece of carpet I missed from the kit... goes under the back windshield...



Here:



Pedal set also installed:



Also took the time to drill the hole for the hazards switch:





And passenger seat installed... need to now install the same seat on the driver's side. But first I have to get a set of rails...



I gave it a good clean on the inside... cleaned all glass, dash, door panels, etc.

Angel stopped by and we took it out for a drive... forgot to bring the tires back to normal pressure (I had them at around 50lbs to minimize flat spots... )

Next task is fixing the headlights mount tab...and the aluminum plate around the hood pins... got all the materials, just need work on that next. Baby steps...getting there.

[wachuko]

Some work on the front lip spoiler... Alejandro creating a lip on the lip It was just a flat piece of fiber glass and we wanted to give it some thickness...

[wachuko]

Took out the seats, painted the seat support black. Now both seats match (had a Recaro seat on the driver side, but decided to just installed the two seats that came with the RS project and store the Recaro seat... )





Also installed the hood pins... I made some aluminum plates to install at each corner of the hood, but at the end decided not to install those, did not seem to look all that good with those.

[wachuko]

Small detail but finally got a tag frame and some lights for the tag:





Need to install the lights... motorcycle tag lights
