A minor setback.


We're going to need another (minor) surgery. 


This is a 993 transmission (aka G64)....


This is my Euro spec 915 transmission....


The bell housing is much longer on the 993 trans. We basically have to extend the bell housing.


The throwout bearing will need to be machined.


I've been terribly busy. More updates soon.

The vintage Momo Prototipo replica wheel looks great (suits my taste). The newer ones don't have the flat dish shape of old. A little more work needs to be done on the hub... that part doesn't look so good yet, but it will.



The clock is merely a test fit. As discussed, I'm going with the 912 outside temp gauge.


You can also see the Rennline floor board(s) in this pic.



We don't have a very nice fit on the wheel hub, but it won't be a problem fixing that.



The Becker is installed, but it clashes a little bit with the interior. Not sure if like



Tunes! Groovy!


Lovin that McIntosh, but the faceplate is shiny black glass. Not sure how it will look.


The Hi-Fi place I go to has one in the window. It's used, but looks new. I think he wants $999 for it. If I could chew him down on the price, I would consider it, because it also matches my stereo at home, so you know I'm a huge McIntosh fan.


This is what I listen to records on at home.




That's pretty sweet, too. Since its custom, another thing you could do is put the aluminum trim all the way across the dash so that your current Becker blends in properly.



Trouble is, the dash I have is hard to put chrome trim on. The older dashes already have it. I suppose I could put chrome trim on the ventillation controller.


It's always something
