Adding some Nardi

I had been looking to the 700RS spyder(top pic) for inspiration and found it in the form of this Nardi mahogany steering wheel off e-bay. I backed it up with a matching shifter knob just to add some continuity. I'm still not sure weather or not to use the BMW logo'ed horn button, especially since the 700's horn is on one of the column switches and not on the wheel itself. Next step is fabricating a steering hub adapter which is not available for this model(big surprise).

Interior panels

The original interior and door panels were in pretty rough shape. I salvaged some trim from the two full sets of panels included with the car and had S & S Upholstery in Longmont make up some new panels using some matching leatherette material we got from Stefan when he made our seats. They use identically spaced pleats as the new seats. They also look so much better than the plastic covered stock panels and are one more piece in the process of converting the interior to black. I still have to figure out what I'm gonna do to cover the rear seat pan now that there isn't a seat there. I'll probably get a matching panel mounted to the top just to finish it off a bit more.
