mark2559 Posted 19January, 2022 Report Share Posted 19January, 2022 I have purchased the Recaro Pole Position (Classic Pepita) for my 964 build (see elsewhere in PFA) + a set of genuine RUF 18" wheels (8.5" & 10.0"). Quality doesnt come cheap, someone famous once said. I am aiming for something like the attached photo with my build. tomo, micknine01, MARTY and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeatesy Posted 19January, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 19January, 2022 I don’t think the car had seen a vacuum for a while so I took the multicolored tombstones out, gave the interior a good clean and fitted the Cobra’s. It was great to work on a car again and I loved that my 15 year old son was giving me a hand. We went for a drive afterwards and the seats feel great but the seatbelts don’t so harnesses are next on the list. sjm, P-Kay, cafe_racer and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 30January, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 30January, 2022 I’ve fitted one of the sets of harnesses that came with the car and I’ll run these until I decide between having the original seats trimmed or buying either Cobra classic RS seats or Recaro pole positions. cafe_racer, Dalai, P-Kay and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 6March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 6March, 2022 An update on the interior changes I’ve been making to my Yellow Bird inspired coupe. Tombstone seats trimmed with yellow pepita, steering wheel, gear knob and fire extinguisher changed, shift boot fitted and the crappy drink bottle holder removed. The Interior is mostly done, I’ve just got to fix a couple of issues with the door strikers and locks now.

Yeatesy Posted 23March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 23March, 2022 I had the whale tail grille painted black (as per the RUF CTR look of the car) and the deck lid repainted after I removed the Carrera RS badges (because it’s not a Carrera RS), unfortunately they had been superglued on 🤦♂️ micknine01, crsedge, Carrera28 and 10 others 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeatesy Posted 2April, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 2April, 2022 One of the mechanics at work is helping me to adjust the suspension and dial out the hot rod stance.
