Thanks for the compliments. It’s nice to be making progress on this project again.
I finished up the stereo/speaker/subwoofer install and buttoned it all up. I’m quite pleased with this combo of Continental head unit, Alpine R-S65.2 coaxial speakers, and Kenwood KSC-SW11 powered sub. It is a relatively easy install and the sound is quite good given relatively simple system. This is not audiophile stuff, but good bang for the buck and good enough for my needs.
I love how clean and straight this chassis is. It’s a pleasure to work on.
With the stereo done I quickly sorted a few other electrical gremlins (dome light switch contacts needed cleaning and new hazard switch was needed to get turn signals working), but then I started putting the new(ish) interior in. The car came to me with a full black interior in pretty good condition. It’s not perfect, but it’s not ratty either. Just some nice patina for the most part. However, black on black is WAY too boring for my taste. So a few years ago I picked up a full Can Can red sport seat interior for a 911. A full red interior it not to my taste either, but I’m going to use some of it. To start I’m just using the seats, front and back. The red carpet on the back of the new back seats looked like a faded orange muppet, so I pulled it off and replaced it with the black carpet from the backs of my old seats.
