I have an older pair with some minor scratches and some glue residue. PM me if you're interested.

How'd you get the map pocket so nice?

With everything that far apart, I would have been tempted to section the blower housing for a C4 fan.

The HVAC fan from the C4s is more powerful, with a deeper, better designed fan. To get the best effect from it, you have to cut up the C3 housing and fiberglas in about 1" of extra depth. Should be plenty of old threads in the archives.

Here is a side by side. The C4 fan is the taller of the two, with more blades, with more aggressive pitch.

VERY nice work there VBD, looks great, my only comment is that I hope the paint and the interior orange matches perzactly in real life, as I have tried this in the ancient past with unfortunate results.....

which is one reason why my car is a rat rod....
