73 911t repair/paint/modify

[GT3DE]

Bought this (signature pic below with my Dad last summer) 1973 911t a year ago 02.21.2013. It had been a track car and unregistered for 20+ years. Car has little bit of rust on rockers and floor. Also took a hit in right front at some point, moving right front back 1/2".
Interior is a mishmash of old/new. Has rear half of roll cage. RS door panels, RS carpet kit. Original tan seat that have been repaired with vinyl not quite matching.
Original engine and trans.
150k miles.
Original color is Aubergine as seen in engine compartment, under the hood and under the undercoating.
PLAN:
1) replace floor (already taken delivery of new floor from Stoddard)
2) frame rack to stretch front impact
3) patch other rust behind front wheels from sections from donor car
4) paint car original color - Aubergine (Barney)
5) interior will replace seats with those period correct Recaros in black, if not OEM then from GTS Classics (Sport S with basket weave inserts, perforated outers)
6) Add Wevo shifter, longer version
7) replace tan vinyl on dash face with black textured period correct vinyl (anyone know where I can source this material???)
8) engine - at this time, clean up what I have and reinstall. Was offered a working 2.7 that I can use for free and put mine on shelf
9) trans - clean it, open it and see what needs fixing (works ok now, little crunchy in 1st and 2nd but maybe nut behind the wheel instead of trans problem)
10) get a pair of 7Rx15 Fuchs for rear (it is my understanding that these are the widest Fuch that fit in OEM longhood rear fenders)
11) misc stuff like H4 headlights and other stuff I can't think of now (will add details as I remember/think them)
12) was offered a "S" front valance so thinking that would go nice on it.

It is possible that in the future may build hot rod motor for it, who knows.

interior needs cool seats and replace tan dash vinyl with black.
Also, the dash top is covered with a piece of plastic = thinking a nice OEM or similar dash top would look better than this shiny hard plastic cover. Anyone know where to get good dash top cover???

not my car - another I found on the internet that is Aubergine and this inspired me to take mine back to OEM color Aubergine (Barney):

It looks like you found a nice car for a project.
Best of Luck with it.

Might want to re-think changing interior parts to black- aubergine looks stunning with a tan interior.

Have had a few PM's regarding requests for parts for this build - specifically I need a pair of 7Rx15 Fuchs for the rear (widest that will fit in the stock OEM rear fenders is my understanding) and a new dash pad/top/cover/thing (the soft black vinyl top of the dash).
I am glad and appreciative of the help but one guy has 0 (zero) posts and the other had 1 (one) post. Alarm bells ringing in my ears. No idea who these guys are. Sorry if this offends them and they are legit but I am not sending $ to unknowns.

I have never bought/sold here on Pelican but have history of buy/sell on Rennlist. I waited years and met in person quite a few Rennlisters before I ever attempted to buy/sell items. Kinda new to Pelican and thinking that the same rules apply here -- know who you are dealing with!
