Started on the restoration of my 1980 924 Turbo S this week(931S).

80hrs later and years of collecting new OEM parts including a NOS dash! Still need a black shift boot and some other misc items.

I have some good useable brown interior parts left over if anyone needs some. Looking for black pillar arms and upper trim pieces.







The Before Shots - Nice "70's" brown!!!

Hey, I will take all of the brown interior parts you want to part with.

Looks to me as if you have the seat backs on the wrong sides?


All my seats have the catch for tilting the outside not the middle like yours.

Do american seats come that way?

personally, I would try to find a replacement for that crappola brown shift-boot and boot-holdey-ringey-thing.
Try Euromax imports (look them up on eBay), they have some nice shift knobs that screw right into their shift-boots for an excellent OEM look. As far as I've been told, they also carry adapters that will fit their round-shaft knobs onto the Porsche's flat shaft. I'd contact them to confirm though.

Your other option: buy a billet short-shifter from me (Lizard has shared the design with me, since we worked in the same shop and he has gone drilling for a few months.)
I'm offering them for $50 USD shipped.

Nice interior colour scheme, looks great.

As to what "john h" said about the seat back catches. I suspect the seats are from a 944 (oval dash) or very late 924S

I had the catches on the outside on the original seats, I then fitted the seats from a 944 (88 on) and both seats have catches on both sides.

Also from what I can make out from the pictures the seat back recline turnwheel is not fitted, with 944 seats the seat back is reclined via a lever on the front right of the drivers seat (front left on passenger seat). Also, at the bottom of each seat back, you can see a plastic trim that "wraps" around, again 944. The rear seats have a button release for the folding function again this was oval dash 944.


Out of curiosity, in your first picture by the door sill, there appears to be some sort of electronic module hanging by a wiring loom, what is this?

So where did you get the interior parts to do the restoration? I have the same brown/dirt interior in decent condition, but I can't handle it. Also how much is the total tally for the parts?

-Thanks
