OPERATION "COCOA" is in full swing...
in the meantime, these arrived…

...from srpracing.com
Custom made from an old design (the stripes resemble the gauges' orange, perfect) . Heel ;-) 'n' toe is much easier now

WIP

Operation "cocoa"...
more stuff is coming in...
and being upgraded where ever possible (sacrilege

)

the courtesy lights:
With the new door cards, i would like to make them work WITHOUT installing complete new harnesses.
Does anyone have an idea, where to attach the new wires possibly? Or do I have to run them all the way up front to the door connector (which would suck)?

(marone brown) real alcantara on rubber grommet

...forget regular spray glue, it does not work. I used 1k-PU-glue...it bonds just everything.

End of October, 11°C and the TOP is still down.

Gear indicator is FINALLY integrated (cover in the making) where the mic usually would sit. Still needs to be programmed though...but I made it work.
The trick was...magnetic holders... and a little wire to make it move out of the way, when I need to access the torx behind it.
That took quite some brains to figure out a workable and sturdy solution. Dremel still is your best friend here.
And yes, the orange 7 is photoshopped (future project). TAG HEUER like logo and a silver circle (356 like) will find their way in that design, too.
The plan is to create UV resistent stencil stickers instead of a new gauge face. Want to keep it simple.
Oh and btw., my Cocoa brown SE Dashboard cover is finally in place.

BRAN, I just found this thread and spent an hour reading it from beginning to end. Wow, I seriously love everything you have done with your car. You and JBauer have done excellent work. Thanks for taking the time to do all this, and posting it for us to enjoy.

I would love to see some shots of how your car looks now. I went through the whole thread and there are some great pictures, but I want to see your best picture! A picture that belongs on the cover of a magazine? Why, because your car is that beautiful. Have you ever taken it to some shows? I have no doubt it would win.

Thanks again

Thank you! It still is not finished...will it ever be? Hopefully I will be able to do that in 2019, or 2020 before it turns 20.

But there are always new plans popping-up on the to-do list...

...e.g. like those (photoshop)

Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ah, OK, so the sidemarkers are no indicators in the US. Over here in Germany they are indicators only. Is it allowed to use them as sidemarkers and indicators the same time in the US?

Not sure about the law but if you could make them flash I doubt it woukd be a problem.

A barn find...+50HP??

W.I.P.

JBauer · 02-12-2019, 04:15 PM

Hmmm....🤔

BRAN · 02-14-2019, 09:21 AM

Hmmm is right. If you have it already...lets see what you can do with it. You know I am always interested in someone else's creativity. It looks heavy though...my grill was only 2 pounds in the end and I still used
2-component glue
3M professional tape
2 gigantic screws to secure it.

Oddly enough its not heavy at all. It's a Porsche part but is made of a softer rubber type plastic. Trying to find a way to cover my hatch mistake I made on installation. I've already cut it up and I think I may use part of it.

BRAN · 02-23-2019, 12:43 PM

lol...i forgot to update the photos of my racing pedals. They fit pretty well, heel&toe is way more comfortable now, and yes … 1 screw is missing because of a design flaw

I just love 'em...

What does the "S" button do? (Center console bottom left)

It changes the throttle/gas pedal response, 3 settings: normal-sport-agressiv.

I recently received the booklet for the new 911 from my P-dealership. They were cross referencing the classic 911 interior styles and showing wooden interior examples…without words

drool...
