just picked up the carpet mats i ordered last week from local OPC and was surprised they were in an old style box


then i noticed the date on the old style part number sticker....


unopened for 33 years until today, and still in perfect condition.
just amazing what they must have stored in their main parts warehouse in Germany.

can certainly see the impression of the rear mats on the pile of the front one, luckily a quick hoover sorted it out.



tried suggestions on getting the white paint off the seat, but as i feared it took the blue off easier than the white, so got a few variations of bark blue leather dye and mixed them until i had a good match.
second coat on a couple of days ago and it looks better than i had hoped for in the flesh, and am happy with the colour match of the piping compared to the passenger side seat
seat now back in and that's the interior all back together, but still need a blue Porsche key ring
however hard you clean 36yr old front carpets they just look tired, so the nice new over mats make a vast difference to the interior.

i only got 1 key when i bought it so first job was to take some pictures of it just incase i lost it.
then tried to get one cut locally, most said no, some laughed, but 1 company said they knew somebody that cut them.
so gave them the key and a couple of blanks i bought.
3 weeks later they were cut and looked good, got home and tried them, no joy, had a good look at them.
the cuts were right but it was cut as a mirror image to the original

so after much trying finally got hold of keys4classicss, sent them the pictures and 2 weeks later got 3 new keys that work perfectly

now just needed to get the Silica key to fit into a Porsche key head, i have done it before but its not a job i like doing
lots of masking tape on the blade, a well trued bench grinder, files and small hacksaw and it eventually fitted pretty good.
i got 3 cut just incase i went to far with the bench grinder or snapped it while cutting the middle section out to fit it in the head, but all went according to plan on the first go.
+ new blue key fob.

another small job done

cheers
Phil
