Thanks! That explains it. Lighting when the picture is taken plays a role too, so it helps to know that it's still Viper Green. It's looking good!

Here is a little update for the 911:

Assembled the tail lights. They are all LEDs.
Image

Image

Test fitted the rear bumper.
Image

Made new brake lines, and installed them.
Image

Image

Also installed the brake calipers.
Image

I started on the electrical system.
Image

I had to take a break on the wiring and started to install the sound mats.
Image

Back to the wiring.
Image

Image

Most of the harnesses are new and home made.
Image

Cheers

I started a few pieces for the interior.

Image

Image

Refinished the dash trim with the same vinyl I covered the knee pad.

Image

Image

Finish installed.

Looks amazing! Fantastic job. Can't wait to see the work details! Will you keep it and drive it or sell it and start a new project?

OK, here are some updates and pictures on the work I did.

Finished the tank, I upgraded to SC/Carrera gas tank.

Image

Fitting the oil lines and second oil cooler.

Image

The oil thermostat had one damaged fitting connection.

Image

Image

I got a repair sleeve and installed it.

Image

I had the rear wheels widened by 1" at the inside. I started to refinish them. First polishing the outer lip.

Image

Masking the polished lip and blasting the rest of the wheels.

Image

Back to the interior. Got the dash pad back from recovering.

Image

And got it installed. I had to tweak it a bit, but it came out OK after that.

Image

Installed the engine sound pad, and made a new electrical panel.

Image

Made and installed all new fuel lines.

Image

Got all the dash wire sorted and install my gauges.

Image

The battery mount and the electrical panel and wiring is coming together.

Image

The headlights are installed.

Image

The deck lid with custom grill and integrated 3rd brake light is installed.

Image

I totally forgot about the fresh air system. So it has to done now.

Image

The fan was coming apart, so I needed a new one.

Image

Here it is after refinishing and ready to get installed.

Image

Image

It's time to install the engine.

Image

Image

More with the next post.
