The Sparcos pretty much bolted into place since I had the sliders and base from my ex-944. The only thing left to do with these is install the harnesses and street belts. The shift knob is (yes Ill admit it) from ebay... but it was only $9 with shipping and I have to say it looks pretty good. It'll look better when I put the short shifter in, but for now it works.
(bonus points if anyone can guess the car under the cover)
The lexan windows were a bit of an adventure as one of the rivets decided to not go all the way in and it took the better part of half an hour trying to get it out. We started by cutting the edge of the plastic covering off so we could install the windows without scratching the easily scratchable lexan. Then a small bead of RTV sealant was placed around the edge of the window to prevent any leakage as sooner or later this car will probably get rained on. Next the rivets went in with some encouragement from a 4" rubber mallet and a long socket. Installed they look....well, like plastic windows but it looks good in a "my car is anorexic" kinda way. Results are below, judge for yourself. Now Im going to go clean up and look up hood scoops. Ah the joys of owning a race car...
