I made padded bolsters for the doors and cut new door cards which I covered in matte black vinyl. The bolsters are made from 3/4″ PVC molding from the hardware store. It cuts and routes similar to wood, is lighter than MDX or ABS plastic and is flexible enough to bend to the contour of the upper door frame while being resistant to water and moisture. I used a round over bit to remove the sharp edges, covered the PVC piece in 1/8″ neoprene foam and a layer of black vinyl fabric.

The door cards are made from 5mm plywood, covered in matte black vinyl fabric. I was planning to re-cover the bolsters with the same matte vinyl because it matches the other interior finishes so well, but I like the two-tone effect. I used threaded inserts in the door frame to attach the bolsters and door panels. I ordered Porsche RS-style door handles, door release straps and trim pieces to complete the door interior.

I installed a locking RAM Mount for my Samsung tablet using a bracket welded to the steering column. The tablet is running Shadow Dash MS giving me a speedometer, tach and selection of gauges from the engine ECU. I can also log engine data on the tablet. The larger tablet is only required for tuning when I need to run the full Tuner Studio software to adjust engine parameters.

I have some smaller odds and ends to finish in the interior. The roll cage is badly chipped in places, I need to finish the floor on the driver side and the rear carpeted firewall panels still need to be fastened to the firewall. I verified that a passenger seat clears the fuse panel but I will mostly run solo in the car. I made polycarbonate quarter windows but I need to weld tabs in the window frame for attachment. The door glass will be OEM but I’m not going to install the new window channel and weatherstripping until after the car is painted.
