Originally, my SC's interior was same as yours except for the door panels and carpets which were light tan / beige, including the beige/brown Pascha inserts. I changed the carpet and door cards to brown so it actually looks almost exactly like yours now except the brown is Mercedes Brazil brown with a nappa leather to match. I went this route because I didn't like the almost maroon tint to the Porsche brown carpet. Door cards are custom with Mk1 Golf Door pulls in brown, bin delete and leather door pulls. I can recommend the brown cocomats with the beige fleck. Wheel is brown from a 924, with a swapped basket to work with a 911 column My headliner is in pretty good condition but it is fragile at the back behind the rear side windows.

There is no colour label on an SC. Good luck with the brown headliner. I have it my SC but not sure anyone makes them.

Got NYE 'commitments' which will most likely disqualify me from operating any machinery on NYD.

Seems like 2 years before failure is the norm then - rather poor. My missus bought a cheap Chinese A/C machine to create a cold room for her floristry business. Was still working after 10 years when it was no longer required. Basically the same technology as a dehumidifier. I don't mind paying more for good quality home grown stuff but it should last.

Sadly, I can't recommend the Ebac. Mine packed up after two 'seasons' of light use. I thought I was covered by the warranty which is meant to be 4 years. I was told that the warranty is only 1 year as I bought it through Screwfix! If you check the Screwfix reviews you will find a lot of units do not last more than 2 years.

Had our company Maxus EV van for 3 years and our Volvo XC40 EV for 2 years. Between the two have only charged them maybe 5 times ‘on the road’. They are either charged at home or at work so the amount of time I am waiting for them to charge is zero. As a daily appliance I can’t see myself going back to fossil fuel. It also has the bonus of making the 911 a truly special occasion but I do keep forgetting to go the petrol station!

Let's stir this up again! I love my Hella 4040 GT mirrors. I only know one other car that has them and I think he saw them on mine ( eh @Jon Miller ?) They are attached by 2 bolts going vertically down through the alloy strip on the top of the door. And as is the law of 911s, the passenger side one is almost useless!

This is a great concept. I'd be a little concerned about running a mains powered electrical appliance hidden in the car when there's electricity and water involved. There are ducting kits for putting small duhumidifiers in lofts like the one below, so that could be an option to run the unit outside the 'bag'.

You do get about, thought you were in the States! Can you take matches on a plane? 🤣

^ Yep. 'Collapsible' oil return tubes spotted too.

I noticed on one of the pictures there is what looks like a points condenser ( silver can above distributor ) mounted on the fan housing. That has no place on any car running CDI. If it is 'in circuit' with the points, it will mess up the timing on the engine, causing a lag in the advance. It the car feels slow, first thing I would do is remove that and redo the timing.

Roger that. This was my next move. After that, will look at the metering head. Thanks

Hello All, After 60 thousand miles since rebuild (11+ years ago!) I'm giving the SC a bit of love and sorting out a few little niggles. One of them is the idle, which doesn't seem to be as smooth as it used to be with a rhythmic 'put-put-put' and most would say it's idling on 5 cylinders. Lift the idle by just 100 RPM and it's silky smooth and the same when driving - no hesitation at all. As you probably know, I'm pretty handy on the ignition side of things. This is not an ignition problem - there is a spark at all 6 cylinders. I run headers so I have good access for a thermal camera which does not show a colder pipe. Could this be an injector with weird spray pattern/drip at low flow - e.g. idle? I had the injectors cleaned when the engine was rebuilt all those miles ago. Also, at this point, the silencer does seems to be lacking in the baffle department. Could that cause it? There are no sights of any leaks in the rest of the exhaust system. Cheers, Jonny
