Ok, I have some progress pics to post.

While the interior pieces were out, I gave them a nice good cleaning. They were filthy.

A-Pillar Interior Pieces, where the Seatbelts go through.

Before.

After.

Next, I ditched the 91 stock Side Duct vents, and made some custom 02 Style grilles. I found a steel wholesale place nearby, and was able to use the mesh in the valance as a reference. Luckily, I was able to find a spot on match, to the OEM 02 Mesh. These grilles are over 400 a piece from the dealer! So I saved big time...

Stock 91 inserts, picture reference. (picture taken, before paint and bodywork)

02 Style Mesh Side Duct Inserts, I fabricated and powdercoated.

Cleaned behind the side ducts, one last time, before installing.

Installed. New OEM Clips, and factory hardware all torqued down.

I'm in the middle of a re-paint build myself on my 91BB, I have been looking for metal mesh to do the same thing to my 1/4 vents. My question is how did you attach the mesh to the vent itself? By the way great work!!! I have been asked the same question, " why not buy a newer model year "? My reason was I wanted the first year of production, I prefer the pop ups over the 02 headlights and personally I like and wanted the coupe. Again, great work!!!!

I recognize those BBS's from the AAMCO (Inland Empire) meet. Ironic that my 3.2 looks like a stock NA1 and your NA1 looks like a advance NA2.

I'm glad to see this thread as I had just bought this car from his estate. Eric passed away few weeks ago. I had seen him at the Redlands Airport, his man cave, restoring this car. He was anal at his build! This car will now be in my collection and named my "Geisha" as it's Japanese.
