Interior is about 60% done.
It was very diifficult to make the shift cover for TT 6-speed shifter because it's sitting 1-1/2 inches behind the SC 5-speed shifter.

Still need to get some door and dash trims, center arm rest, cage, 5 point harness, new carpet, custom center counsel, NAV A/V, HKS CAS II, Knock Amp with FCON so I can have roll on screen gauges instead of having individual gauges all over dash.

Are you wrapping your pieces in suede? It looks really good. Are you doing this yourself? How much has it cost you in materials just for the interior so far?

Thanks.
All interior pieces are in two tone suede including headliner and trunk.
Do not know the cost of material because it was a package deal from my shop. I stopped working on my cars about 15 years ago.
Got tired of getting grease under my fingernails.
Getting to old to crawl around trying to reach tight places.

I really like what you did with the interior so far, especially the suede work! How much does that suede work normally cost if you don't mind me asking?

are you leaving the seats and center console in leather still because even though its still hot, the seats look like they could use an insert or something to completely flow with the rest of the interior, just IMO

Those are brand new leather covered MKIV seats front and SC seats in the back. I rather have leather on constantly touched areas.

Finally, received the intake manifold yesterday.
We are polishing and anodyzing at this moment.
We decided to get RMM intake manifold so we do not need to relocate the battery.
Still gathering parts.
BL-T71 + Built 2JZGTE + RMM intake Manifold...
Now, you get the idea
