986 2DIN and wood project
10 Images of my latest project:
removed lots of interior parts and had them treated with water transfer printing - wood design. While doing that I also moved the climate uint down to make space for a 2DIN radio. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/011473333330.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/021473333348.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/031473333370.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/03a1473333394.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/041473333504.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/051473333515.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/061473333549.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/091473333584.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/081473333611.jpg |
I found an OEM wood steering wheel, brake handle and shift knob. You can see some pictures here:
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/55759-de-changed-some-interior-items.html I also installed a 2-DIN system. I was thinking of doing my center console in wood instead of silver. You appear to have some high-quality work. If I could see it in person rather than in photos it may help me decide to go ahead and do the work. I also haven't found anyone in my area who does this work. I think the all black is too bland, but I don't think I would do as much trim in wood as you have. |
Looks pretty good...and it won't crack and be less bulky :cheers:
I probably would have done the windshield defroster pieces (but that might be too glary) instead of the window triangles, but that is of course up to your own liking ;) I was lucky enough, to find some really good AND CHEAP (<50$) 996 dark burl wood side vent pieces on eBay, so my wood conversion is finished. |
Think it's nice. But i would have preferred black tinted wood, because of the reflections. I don't like any reflections. That drives me crazy. That's why my interior is black and stays black – best works matte black for me as interior color. ;)
Something most people today forget is that classic sport cars often had wooden interiors. Interesting to see that here are no wood haters like in the german Porsche forums. ;) Maybe guys that like wood interiors from outside Germany might get cheap wood interior sets or cars with wooden interior from Germany. ;) Regards, Markus |

Not my style but I must admit it looks pretty good for faux wood.
|
Does anyone know an easy fix for "tiny" cracks in the lacquer (wood underneath seems okay)?...kinda like "apply special clear lacquer, which creeps into the cracks"
|
Nice job! Reminds me of the interior of our Jaguar.
|
Why wood you do that? I'd leaf that out next time. Definitely barking up the wrong tree. It looks like aspen.
|
Count me in with your German forum friends, Markus.
I just don't get it. |
