This kit here:

Yes, I believe Brien just had to shave them a bit. I have not seen them in person, tho. No one-off custom disc kit for me. Laughing

Almost. Seats are done apart from the rear bottom cover. I still need to have a new cover for it made. Evil or Very Mad

I found some NOS carpet pieces and had a local place use them for patterns. They mirrored the left side wheel well and rocker piece for the right side, and made a center firewall section. I'll install these pieces myself when I have the car up at my place. I didn't need the floor sections as I have some original rubber mats.

Getting really close now. We just closed on a new place so I'll have a garage for the Notchback. ISP is wrapping up some minor fixes now and then I'll probably fly down and drive her home up the 101 to San Jose.

Fingers crossed!

Expensive shipping for that piece but I understand it since it's ramp 134.

Extreme hazard pay there.
