Nice ride man. I like the color you chose to go with. Do you have a big stero in there, just wondering since I saw the alternator sitting next to the cooling fan. Post some pics of you modified firewall, I chopped mine up and moved it in and am now trying to figure out the best way to avoid hot air from re-entering the engine bay. :)

Sweet ride. Dig that airdam. Are your handles painted or powder coated?

thanks for your comments dudes! :)

no, I donīt have any stereo-things.......itīs not so quiet car.... :)
alternator is mounted that way because the cooling fan is different from Porscheīs and that stuff and that Deutz-fan doesnīt have an alternator....so I decided to use a small Denso -unit for that stuff.......

all blacked parts are just painted....not so good way to do that..... Maybe Iīll powdercoat all handles and that ex-chrome stuff later when the paint is getting off....

interior in the works -mode: http://www.kolumbus.fi/tommi.nylund/gerbiili/interior.jpg
I have now a suede leather Sparco steeringwheel and those pressure gauges werenīt never in use, because I didnīt have time to make them work for now....maybe next summer with new engine....

I donīt have any pics of my firewall where engine isnīt it place....but that luggage-space behind rear seat has been turn upside-down....so that the real firewall is now in place where the rear seat should be. I can take a picture in a week or two when I remove the engine.....

More comments & suggestions are welcome.

hahaha!! :D:D

actually that shift-light is above the mirror now......but itīs nice.....you can see it clearly when needed and itīs not disturbing your everyday life for another hand.......

maybe some different material doorpanels are coming too......maybe.....
