I can't wait to get my brain scrambled riding in this new car. I request fixed-mounts for securing camera gear - make sure to build those in for me... lol

^That's the idea

Pictures of some minor progress..... Dunlop ZII tires mounted on the Fikse Profil 10s, as well as installed a black anodized Axiom Autosports rear strut tower bar. Interior shot shows a new (discontinued) Nardi Sport Type B along with Redline Goods perforated e-brake and shift boots with red stitching. Also had a spare e-brake handle recovered, looks better than new

Further interior plans call for black carpet and some new seats

Two things... first, an old man like me would never be able to read your PFC commander so far away, and second, what's that little silver box coming out of your center speaker cover on top of the dash?

:p

Hey Tim,

that's an old school Defi heads up disply which projects either MPH or RPM on the windshield

The commander is mounted there because the PO has a crazy head unit with a screen that comes out and flips up. This made it impossible to mount the commander near the HVAC controls. FWIW, he's in his 50s and was able to see the disply with no problems

The seats are on order, Big100-Style . Very excited to see how they come out, stay tuned

Lookin' good mayn! Hope to see it in a few weeks at DGRR!

BTW, the contents of the back of that white pickup are probably worth more than the pickup .

Oh, the switches behind the armrest? Something for tall guys to hit their elbow on .

Great choice of wheels!!! Fikse's have always been one of my personal favorites!! Also nice find on the DEFI HUD! I've always been a day late and a dollar short on getting my hands on one!

This car has to be a total joy to work on, with every nut and bolt spotless and no corrosion to deal with! Definitely nice wheel choice. Hurry up and get this sled together so we can have a re-match against my sled

Yup, I've been a Fikse ***** since 1999, probably owned or sold over 25 sets now

Thanks Logan.... right now I'm focusing on exterior/interior/reliability before DGRR, so she'll be lucky to have 300 rwhp on the Dragon unfortunately.

I snapped a ton of pics today, some progress in the interior, engine bay, and also test-mounted the new wheel/tire setup. Once my SBG Coilovers arrive I can set the ride height proper. Also have a new front bumper waiting to be mounted

The RE-A Ti Dolphin Tail has a nice deep tone with the high flow cat
