Interior Idea

[Fischer_76_911S]

WOW - That 928 with the white interior looks fantastic. I did the same to a 911. Striped out the interior carpet & padding and then rolled on a thick truck bed liner. Sealed and protected the metal real well and also provided some sound deadoning. When everyone saw it, they all asked "who's going to do your interior?" I ended up having leather on the doors and lightweight carpet installed. Looks great, I think



Now, with that said, if I had to do it all over again.....I would do the white painted interior, in FLAT. It will take a lot more work and sanding to make it look smooth (paint vs bedliner). However, white will be cooler and flat paint will make touch ups just a spray can away. Gloss will show every scratch (especially black) and touch ups would definitely show. I'm on your side - weight is the enemy and must be eliminated. I have to resist the urge for my 928 "driver" to gut everything! I'll leave that to my 911. I will build another 911 some day and do a painted interior and a digital race "pack" type guage cluster. Eliminate evrything else and get well under 2500 lbs. Then shove a V8 in to really upset the purists

Do IT! You have my vote.

i plan to get on it in a couple of days. i was delayed due to the fact that i had a seizure while sleeping last Friday night. so that put me out of commission for about 5 days. i am back just like before however and am ready to initiate the tear down. i plan to start this weekend. hopefully you guys will see a new thread on Saturday.

Wow - Hope all is OK. Scary stuff. There was a teacher my wife works with that had one years ago one morning and it took her years to "fully" recover. Never take anything for granted as tomorrow is never guaranteed. Play while you still can!

yeah thats the scary thing. i am only 18. I am type I diabetic and what happened was my blood sugar dropped to a deathly low number in my sleep... and i began to go into a hypoglycemic seizure. i woke up the next day and couldnt remember where i was (in my apartment), what i did the night before, and very foggy about anything in the past.... i didnt know anything. i scared the crap out of my roomate, friends, and family.... =/ oh well. s**t happens.

I wouldn't bedline everything. maybe just the 3-4 in high into the pan and gloss paint the rest. If i remember right bedliner isn't waterproof either. I would do suede or simular product for the dash. I wouldn't paint any of the interior pieces. It will look like **** no matter what you do. just glue wrap and tack!
