on the way to LEATHER

LEather and ALcantera that is. New dash and instrument pod are going in. But not until I clean and rebuild all the HVAC in my car. The last 24 years haven't been all that nice to it. When all goes together it will be better than new!

Nope - I'll tackle anything mechanical but body work and upholstery is too close to art!! I'll post some pics when I get things closer to completion.

Upholstery is definitely an art! I'll gladly take the compliment that body work is art as well!

Fraggle congrats brother!!! cant wait to see it...where are you getting the work done? THere is a place in MD called Paymer and Phillips (or something like that) who specialize in upholstery and do all the factory Porsche stuff for the dealers on custom work, incoming cars, or the like...their work is said to be amazing...

^^^ Markar hint: it's a supercar from the late 70's early eighties. It was supposed to replace the iconic 911 but never did. and lastly Tony Montana drove one in scarface...

can you guess the car???

I'm happy to say that I'm using classic9leather - www.classic9leathershop.com

All going into my 928!! It's going to be nice to have AC and all the HVAC working after so long without them, too.



The top of the dash and pod is alcantera, with leather on the part that faces the driver.

Sorry all I got is crummy cell phone pictures.
