Its too nice Nick, although I have thought about it. I have similar Momo with red suede too - completely unused. Ive intended to dye this for ages, but my girlfriend made me promise to leave it as-is. I will use it for competition, provided that the rest of the paddock dont laugh... How easy would it be to re-dye a brand new leather wheel? Its coated leather (or it appears to be, unlike the Prototipo which gets sticky if damp) and Id prefer to remove the seal by wiping it woth something rather than sanding it.
 
Cage arrived today, it is a custom fit fully bolt in so no welding required. As I have fixed bucket seats they'll need to come out to fit it so I'll wait for my trim bloke to do the rear carpets. No point pulling the seats out twice and I'd probably have to remove the cage for him to do it anyway. In the meantime I can get the necessary bolts and washers, etc. together and start re-assembling my bridge spoiler.

ORIGINAL: Eldavo Yes please. Although I think he talked about putting some foam in the bottom of the seat cut outs first to make the carpet curves more gentle.

Ive posted them in their own thread Dave.
 
depends what is meant by coated leather , if it is a PU( POLYURETHANE ) coloured leather then there is not alot you can do but if it is a normal dyed leather with a protective finish( sealing coat ) then that can be stripped chelically to allow re-dyeing to be done and then resealed. Nick [:D]
 
Its unused, but it was made in 1989, so Im going to guess that its conventionally dyed then sealed. What should I used to remove the coating without sanding, please?

pm me your address and I will send you some leather prep solvent , you won't need much and then you can dye and re-seal. Nick
 
Front end has been a bit less than solid recently, so managed to get a look under this morning in the warm and dry (relatively speaking) weather and found a broken arb link. The thread on it was so corroded I ended up shearing the shaft through the wishbone! Had a decent secondhand one in the garage so was a quick and easy swap after that.
 
Scam, grt some Oxblood shoe polish and give your wheel a treat it will also fill and hide most marks..................looking good ! Has Alasdair give up on Porsche looks as though he is getting shot of everything. ?
 
I tired of CDs or FM only, so I removed by Becker and fitted an MP3 enabled (with Aux in) Pioneer that I bought a while ago. It doesnt look as original as the Becker, far from it in fact, but the red buttons sort-of go with my continuously lit brake pad wear indicator... [:D] I also fitted a permanent mount for my in-car camera. Bought especially to provide a discrete permanent mount and replace the suction cup with massive boom that it came with, I am a little disappointed that it still isnt as tucked away as I had hoped for, but it i sbetter than it was and I intend to leave it installed.
 
I forgot to mention that I managed to greatly increase the radios reception by utilising the in-screen aerial, which hadnt been used when the Sony was fitted. For some reason the car has a conventional aerial mounted in the offside rear flank. Ive seen this on a number of other Turbos too, but never understood by.
