1998 Boxster Project - Complete Restoration

[drbodzin]

My last post where I listed all the stuff I did this past weekend submitted before I was done.

I also did the following:

1. Installed Short Shifter
2. Installed Race Pedals
3. Installed New Hand Brake
4. Moved AC to Lower Console to allow for Dual Din Head Unit

Still waiting on my seats to get finished. Hopefully this week!

Here are a few shots before I reinstalled all the interior.







Here is how she is looking now.





I mentioned in my last post that I dyed the carpet. I think I found a new favorite product. The carpet dye from www.LeatherMagic.com is AMAZING. And they have Porsche Colors. http://leathermagic.com/Pages/porschecolrchart.htm

My carpets literally look new again!

Here is the rear carpet with half dyed back to Savanna Beige (the darker half). See how faded it was. Its so easy to use too. Just spray it on the carpet (after you clean the carpet and its dry). Then use a bristle brush to brush it in. Once it dries, I used a wire brush to brush the carpet fibers. It is AWESOME!

Looking forward to seeing the new seats.

Wow yours is the only other 986 I've every seen with the full burl wood trim like mines!
My car is black with gray interior.
I like yours better!
Nice job Doc!!

Hey SF-Rockster,

Love the Wood. If you EVER decide you want to sell any of the wood pieces, let me know. I would totally be interested in certain pieces.

Great looking car!
