It's wise to clamber out once in a while lest you succumb to the (very pleasant) fumes.

And another shot with the seats placed for effect.
It's gonna look good.

Looks like you picked the wrong week to give up glue sniffing.

looking great, especially now you've realised to get it finished you have to do it yourself!

I think Nick would rather I didn't dabble.
Apparently some of my work is not of a high enough standard.

He didn't seem to agree that I could simply fix it in Photoshop....

I know it's been said before but those seats are fantastic.

It is good to dabble as it snatches ownership away from Nick
and the tartan looks really nice.

Surely the expense will end soon?

I thought I'd purchased all the parts I'd need but my rear screen turned out to be rather scratched and in poor shape.
Also I was keen to have a working demister and upon checking the heating elements Nick discovered that out of about 20 wires only 2 worked.
I decided that rather than hunt for a perfect functioning secondhand screen I would buy a new one.
Sadly that proved to be more difficult and expensive than I'd imagined.
Despite trying several alternate sources I ended up buying direct from Porsche themselves.
Which wasn't difficult but was over £500. However, top marks to them, it arrived next-day.
They've got 3 more in UK stock at Reading if you want one....

Bad luck Paul, but hang the expense.. you'll be seeing a lot of cars disappearing in your rear view mirror so you'll need a clear view!

Is the new r/screen exactly the same tint as the rest?

BTW the tartan looks as good as ever
