Wow! That looks fantastic. I guess I'd better step up my game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW, how come whenever we get -30 temps, it doesn't make the national news? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Okay, when you hit -40, you have my attention. The warm up is coming my friend. Hang in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think if I'd have known about that stuff a couple months ago, it would be on my firewall now. Price is right too. Looks like a nice find.

Your car is looking amazing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

You might look into this material:

https://store.secondskinaudio.com/luxury-li...aded-vinyl-mlv/

It's only $0.36 more per sqft. The inital compliant mass material will do far more than just the foam from Wag Aero. Two layers of the second skin material laminated would really do a great job at 3/4" thick.

They indicate it needs to be 2" from a direct heat source.

Although it's heavy at 1lb per sqft - kind of like the original pad which was a mass/absorber sandwich

That stuff looks to be really expensive. The stuff from wag aero I could do the whole firewall for 20 dollars. Though thinking I might glue this foam over my Noico inside the car to glue the carpet on top of as I am not using a back pad..

That would be cool as well..

So last night and this morning I was trying to inventory what I have and what I don't. It appears I have put some items in spots I would remember.. Well I don't remember at all.. Not good.. Will keep looking.

Here are couple pictures.. 1 of the 914rubber 914-6 column housing. I see no issues with it. I remember them saying something needed tweaking but man spot on. Then the 914rubber seal for the upper rear trunk bulkhead. This was bought from someone whom gave up on their project and put the parts up for sale.. I bought it last year and put it on but didn't finish clearly it is short. Ordered a new one this weekend hopefully it is the correct length or my car is too wide lolAttached Image Attached Image
