My 71 911T Interior Mod.

[RSBob]

Really appreciate your work. Very stylish and very period. Porsche should have done as good

[RWebb]

maybe take the supports off and put new, longer tubes in?

- find one where the tubes are a slip fit in the supports

or where you can buy the supports alone & make tubes?

I don't think your idea would be welcomed by my dog, so mine will be flat (if I ever use the piece of hexcell I have to make one...)

I decided to change plans for the look of the release knobs on the door panels. Instead of matching the dash knobs, I thought it would be better to match the window crank knobs. I happened to have some window cranks left over from a Vanagon Syncro project. They are a very close match, and should work out nicely.

I may use the chrome escutcheon between the vinyl and the knob as added trim depending on how it looks when I mock it up. The cap shown will be inserted into the knob once installed.

Started on some of the vinyl install. Wrapped the rear seat delete luggage/storage box. It still needs some tweaks and adjustments, as I'm not completely happy with it yet. I went with a color vinyl that is very similar to what the car left the factory with. I will most likely also change the black out as well to match the gain of the new tan. The carpet will be tan German Square Weave with the same vinyl used for the binding.

I also plan on changing out the brass ring pull to chrome.

Today I worked on finishing one of the door panels. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the armrest black or dye it to match the vinyl. I also noticed that the weave insert is just a bit too short. There is a small gap between it and the top door trim that will need to be addressed.





Last week I fabricated a aluminum trim piece to frame the door on the rear seat delete storage box. It's getting closer to being finished. I need to smooth out a few wrinkles, and add a couple more tweaks.

Those door panels really do look sharp. Well done.

[Paulporsche]

Very period correct looking.

[Flojo]

lovely. nice work.

Very nice. What material did you use for the door cards?

I used plywood that is about 3/16” thick, I got for free at a local wood supply shop. They use it to protect veneer plywood sheets during transport.

I've been continuing to plug away on the interior. It's been slow going due to the fact that my upholstery guy is backed up quite a bit with another project, so I've been doing a lot of it myself. The carpet kit that was in the car seemed to be home made, and did not prove to be the greatest pattern for the new square weave. I'm also still learning how to sew the binding etc. Overall, it's turning out pretty good. Not to the quality that I was shooting for, but it is going to be a driver. I still need to tweak some fitting and details though.

The rear seat delete storage box will be removable, if I choose to re-install the seats.

Sorry about the poor cell phone pictures.

[rangrbob]

I've also been making some custom kick panels. I started with cardboard templates, one of which you can see in one of the pictures in the previous post, then used ABS sheet and bent them using a heat gun. They will be covered with carpet once I get them in and fitting properly. I think they will look pretty clean once they are finished, and the pedal boards are in.

I am also planning to cover the heater hoses in matching vinyl, or replace them with new clean ones.

[rangrbob]

Still plugging away on the interior. The floor mats still need backing and binding sewn on, and the seats need to be re-shaped and upholstered

[Sebscst]

Excellent work! Love how creative and unique it is.

[nico55]

Very nice!

[ToySnakePMC]

Door panels are just perfect. Love how the trim continues level and cohesive past the rear of the door panel. You have a keen eye and pulled this together beautifully. Great job, sir!

[Uwon]

Very nice work!!! You may want to consider an under dash cover to hide all that pesky wiring. See post #308 in my RST hot rod build thread at

That abs sheeting you are using would work really well.
Cheers,

[rangrbob]

Thank you guys.

Johan,

Thanks for the suggestion and link. I may just take you advise.

rangrbob.....lots of work. I know. As far as the arm rest, which are the same as mine, you could dye them. I did. But I don't mind the black with your install. Your work is excellent.

Thanks. I do have matching dye for the arm rests. I’ve been torn on which way looks better. I like both versions, but may very well decide to dye them.
