Re: My 356.
Almost finished. A handful of things left to do, but I think the finished product came out frikkin awesomely.
I'll get to the roof setup soon, as well as the motor update in a few weeks time. For now it's all good and happy in the garage.

Re: My 356.
Looks very neat Alan. Congratulations.
P.S. You should let Exclusive Conversion make you some Speedster seats. It will make a huge difference to the look.

Re: My 356.
Very neat Alan.... the only area that needs to be upgraded is the steering wheel...even though I sold it to you. Now it just does not look the part any longer... something with an ivory finish would be great.

Re: My 356.
Muds, it's certainly better than the crappy thing that WAS on there, but for now it's fine. Can't afford to throw much more money at this..
Wernher, I contemplated cutting these seats up to make the smaller ones, as they must have come out the same molds.. These seats have the two rectangular cooling indents in the fibreglass, but, for the sake of a little safety, and comfort I might add, these work great.
The to-do list includes cosmetic cleanup in the Engine bay when Mr Z has a few hours free to assist me getting it out the car, and a little vooma with some worked heads, and last but not least, the roof installation, which I'm not too worried about. I will install it, but I doubt I'll ever use it. It's purely in case of emergency, and if I should sell the car, it's complete.
Overall, I'm pleased. I think it turned out really nicely.
