Hi all!
I thought I would do a post to thank those who gave me advice on some interior upgrades I did. Here is what was accomplished:
- Switched to Beige Knobs, window cranks, shift knob, etc. Also new more vintage knobs for the AC controls. These all supplied by Henry at IM
- Purchased a restored Becker AM/FM cassette radio. They even put a small self-sensoring input for an Ipod, etc. The radio is not vintage for the car, but I thought it was a good compromise between something appropriate looking and good operating features.
- Custom painted the radio knobs and levers to match the dash knobs. (Also the small heater control knob near the shifter). Paint was supplied by Henry, and I used a small airbrush to apply.
- Replaced the "smaller" Nardi steering wheel with a "larger" Derrington wheel and Porsche horn button. Both supplied by Jeff at Classico Wheels - superb quality.
- Installed the aluminum dash/door trim and the chrome dash handle. For some reason, the PO did not order the car from IM with these features. To me, it makes a big difference.
- Installed sun visors. These are appropriate for a Convertible D. Again, superb quality. These were provided by Louis from Paras Auto.
- I also installed a new Tan boot, replacing the black one. Also supplied by Henry @ IM.
I am very happy with all the changes!!
