CHAPTER V
I took the car to a local porsche shop to investigate a chain tensioner noise and check the air/fuel mixture.
It took a few days, but the engine is running better than ever! A big thanks to Steve Grosekemper from Dieter's.
I decided to change the sparco seats for something more period correct. A pair of real scheel seats. Thanks Mark!
Here is all the hardware required to mount the seats. Ready for sandblasting and powdercoating.
The seats at the upholstery shop. If you notice, the driver side frame has a built-in tilting mechanism.
It took a couple of weeks but the seats look great. We decided to use a 6-wale corduroy for the centers and headrest.
Here is all the hardware back from the powdercoaters.
Here they are! They're extremely confortable - not bad for 30 year old seats!
Both restraint systems installed, 3 point OEM and 4 point schroth belts.
Here is the latest pic with the scheel seats installed.
I think it's safe to say... I AM DONE!!!
At the San Diego Automotive Museum for their 2 month long porsche display.
In great company.
