Looking like excellent progress! You're doing some really ace work, love all the little detail bits.

They look so good in white :-).

Thank you. I wanted to finish a long time ago , but i always get carried away with the small details as i know they will bother me everyday when she is finished . So its taking its sweet time

Some small interior updates


Can’t make up my mind if I should go with my Nardi Series 8 wheel
or with my efini wheel which is getting recovered with Alcantara and black perforated leather with red stitching at the moment

Installed a new leather shift and handbrake boot with red stitching

The ashtray had so much pitting , I decided to clean it and sand it down

Ashtray repainted in black gloss

Looks good with the gloss black

also found a 1 yen coin in the ashtray which I cleaned up with water and vinegar . I will keep it in the car for good luck

Looking good! I'd love to do that with some suedey - alcantara type stuff. Good to see what they look like with the vinyl removed.

Got my Efini wheel recovered in black suede and perforated leather with black stitching

I think I prefer the EFINI steering wheel to the Nardi just because of the Efini Logo (car also is non Airbag from Factory)

Recovered the A Pillars with real leather


A bit of underbody coat

My dad Made a bracket with built in threads so I can mount the Autoexe underbody brace (the small threads are just to fight some small screws to align the bracket until the holes line up

And it’s in

Finally got the two pieces I was missing on yahoo auctions

Cleaned up

Also found a old Autoexe intake cheap which I will modify for my V-amount

Obviously didn’t fit

Chopped off good old angle grinder 😅

Now I have to remodel it to fit nicely

Will move the filter a bit back to not collide with the boost pipes

That Radium setup looks gorgeous. Was thinking the same for my build, they're pricey.... but in for a penny, in for a pound I guess. What's your thoughts on it?

The Radium quality is really out of this world .
you can also do that cheaper with a external surge tank but German laws don’t allow that . So I wanted something contained inside the tank so I have a system that’s sealed and contained in the tank .
having killed a motor on the track because of the infamous fuel starvation in left corners this seemed like a good investment . I also have their fuel rails and fuel pulsation damper and I really love their quality .their attention to detail is amazing . Installation was a bit tricky with the fuel level sender .
