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!
