Wow they all look pretty stunning! From what I see you Americans look after your cars a lot better than the Dutch, most 20+ year old cars here are total cowsheds... or go off to the breakers (probably for the beer money...)

That's awesome! I'm doing my 88 like a Turbo Cup car as well, I'm not as far along as you. I have all the rear carpet removed, the front may come out over the holiday weekend. Next up are the Blaupunkt decals. Need Recaro (or something close), and very soon the phone dials will be the correct pearl metallic white. I also want to improve the roll caging and so on, I just can't seem to "take the plunge" an get super big sponsorship decals. I am going for a more subtle but still "racing" look with the mechanical mods to reflect the factory Turbo Cup cars.

If you use harnesses I strongly urge you to get seats with proper routing holes for them. The submarine and shoulder belts. Most clubs, including PCA, do not allow on track the setup you have.

Get some FIA seats, not eBay special JDM things either.

Yep, good advise, improper routed shoulder harnesses can be very bad on your collar bone in a Boo-Boo..
