Doish13 Posted 4January, 2015 Report Share Posted 4January, 2015 Been catching on PFA and noticed a few images of car interiors which sport bare metal (polished) floor pans inside with only fresh car mats as dressing. I like the look and hence asking if anyone has tried this in a non restored / painted chasis and what was the feed back and final product look like. I'm thinking this with a new pedal box assembly would look quite smart. May be noisier however that's a 'benefit' I would welcome. Thoughts? Uncle did your Matt Black Nacht Jäger have this set up?

Dreamr Posted 4January, 2015 Report Share Posted 4January, 2015 Hey Doish, If I remember correctly, this was discussed in a different topic and the consencus was that many of our cars have a mat over the bare floorpan which was painted in the exterior colour .....Mine is like this in the front and rear with only mats over the floor ....

Dusty Posted 4January, 2015 Report Share Posted 4January, 2015 I can only picture the full raw finish, which I think is awesome but probably wouldn't do it in my current car or do you mean a standard interior with an aftermarket pedal board? My car sounds the same as Dreamer's, bare floor pan with mats over the top. The only difference might be in my carpets padding which fell to bits so I cut it out and glued in new underlay to each mat. In terms of the raw look - I'm not sure I've seen a better job than the head designer of Bugatti's backdated 911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 4January, 2015 Report Share Posted 4January, 2015 What Dusty says That silver 911 the Bugatti bloke has is one of my favourite cars. I personally like the bare bones look, yet as you say, It'd be loud i reckon. I wanted to do it to my black 912, but i wouldnt pass Lhd rego inspection. Do it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doish13 Posted 4January, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 4January, 2015 Thanks gents. My car looks "unpolished" under the floor mats too however was also referring to that section around the hand brake and gear as well as sides... Terrible comparison I know given the work out in however like that photo of the singer in the thread about Singers in oz. Bare Bones look best describes it.

LeeM Posted 4January, 2015 Report Share Posted 4January, 2015 Love that Singer interior! When we looked at painting the floor and tunnel a few weeks ago, it didn't look too hard to scrub up, paint and polish. A big job if you want a perfect finish, and all your seam sealing will need to be pretty well done in my opinion. Your handbrake and everything else will need to be as good as the floor, and your footboards would need to be in good nick too, yet done right, I reckon it would look tops. Rennline do nice aluminium perforated footboards that I will eventually buy for mine. I have the standard rubber mates in my car ontop of recently laid Dynamat, yet I think Supercheap have some half decent old style rubber ones that would suit it 911 owned by Buggati head of design http://static.squarespace.com/static/51e3eef7e4b046d0d009ca7c/533290ebe4b0ef05f98d29ce/533290ece4b0ef05f98d336b/1395823237263/Porsche_911_02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 5January, 2015 Report Share Posted 5January, 2015 Agree with Lee - it'd be a huge job if you wanted it perfect but I don't think you'd be too happy if you simply exposed the tunnel and gave it a few coats. You'd struggle to ignore all the divots, scratches etc every time you're in the car. Would look awesome if you did it right though and the sound shouldn't be too over the top if you still had the benefit of the mats? Mine is missing the engine bay sound proofing which I would've thought could be worse and even with an obnoxious exhaust it's not too loud in the cabin, until you get 'obnoxious' yourself.

clutch-monkey Posted 5January, 2015 Report Share Posted 5January, 2015 i have done this the downside is you can't see shit out the back window thanks to the reflective glare from the painted metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 11January, 2015 Report Share Posted 11January, 2015 http://rennlist.com/forums/964-forum/836908-964-carrera-4-lightweight.html Nice job, the work to the dash looks quite trick. I still don't quite understand why you would go to this extent and not fit a cage? If you want to make your car a 'race car' at least make it qualify as a race car?

Gman993 Posted 10February, 2015 Report Share Posted 10February, 2015 Hi JV911, I have also been admiring your stunning grey 964 project. In fact I spent quite some time looking over it and the ITB's with Grant last week. Well done and I look forward to hearing your 'drive reviews' about it. We will post some more details on our Project 3.8RSR build shortly. Cheers Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
