You guys are awesome, you have some very nice compliments there. I am overwhelmed, really I am.

Yeh NZ is nice to live in. It has it's good and bads like anywhere I guess. Hmmm, I like the idea of all thoses acessories you mention especially the Guage rings. Where do you get that stuff from mate? Thanks so much for your interest.

Bit of both mate. Had to put in more new foam onto seats and than made new seat covers aswell. They were chocolate brown before and for some reason that colour just would not work with this car. Appreciate the compliment alot. Thanks heaps for that.
Eldorado.
The steering wheel was a cheap version of a Momo which I bought. I pulled it to pieces and recovered it. The Porsche badge is from a Keyring I broke open so I could use it for the centre of my steering wheel. It's a very small wheel but feels nice to drive with. Thanks for your interest.
The badges is not glued on, it is threaded into the material so cannot fall off.

Yes, the colour scheme has worked out better than I planned. It was going to be grey and black until I noticed how horrible it would go with the cars colour which is Metallic bronze and it has a Green Pearl in it but is kinda hard to see in the photos. Thanks for the compliment.

Thousands of hours work went into it. Alot of late nights on the sewing machine. Yeh, interesting how many people think there are to many Turbo words. Factory the car had Porsche impressed into the vinyl at top of door panels but I wanted to change it to be different. The Turbo shoulder pads might be over kill a bit maybe but it makes the rear seatbelts look tidier than just drooping down over the back seat. Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it.

Yeh, I never used to be a two tone fan either and when I first started this project I had no intention of doing two tone but as I started sewing things up I decided it wasn't the look I was looking for so than I decided to bring another colour into the game and it has given it that different look that I was looking for. I was a lilttle worried about the consistency of the two tone through this entire project but I think I have pulled it off. Phew! Thanks Mate.

Thanks for your interest. Nah, they didn't come with the car. I made them for my car, the same colour as the interior. I just had the idea one night when I was looking at the rear seatbelts, thinking how I could make them look tidier. So yes, I made 4, 2 for the front and 2 for the rear. They were pretty easy to make actually and I have made them a loose fit so they always move with the belt as you pull it out to put it on. Only reason for making them was to make the rear seatbelts look tidy. Cheers Speedy
Everything that you guys see in the picture has been redone except for the Gearstick knob which is factory covered by momo. Carpets and rooflining and seats and steering wheel and sunvisors, I have all recovered myself. It's a shame I don't have any pics of what it looked like before. It was all drk chocolate brown and made the car look boring for some reason. Well thats just my opinion anyway. Thank you all so much.
