A few more pieces restored and ready for assembly. The axles are the Empi free floating with '69-'73 911 108 mm CV's. These will match up with the same size rear stub axles and differential output shafts.

I love your build! I am also recently converting my 914-6 conversion to more of a GT interior. Curious are you going to install the classic gauge pod over the stereo or keep the radio (maybe do afr or ?)? I'm currently debating over this, I think I am going to run the gauge pod for awhile and see if I miss the actual radio (keeping a hidden stereo).

I am planning for a "GT Like" interior with no radio or gauge pod.

Ok cool. Have you looked into the door panels yet? Leather panels are available, the original handles can be purchased on ebay/auto atlanta. I just made some leather straps.

I have a pair of blank leatherette t door panels that I bought from 914 rubber. I also have the leather strap and the bezels for where the leather strap passes into the door panel near the door lock. I plan to use the original window winder handles and the GT style door pull handles that seem to be widely available. There seem to be some really great threads with Photos on how to locate the bezels on the door panels. I am a little concerned about the amount of pulling force required to actuate the door locks with the leather strap. I’ve cleaned and lubed my door locks as best as possible and hopefully it will not be an issue. I have similar door panels, leather straps, and pulls on my RSR clone. Those have worked flawlessly for 15 years.
