GC,

The last work I did on the car interior was to finish things up prior to New Year. Have spent as little time in the garage as possible this week. We had temps down to an actual -17F w windchill of -47F. We expect it to get into the +30s tomorrow and this weekend. So I have spent this time in the basement and disassembled the seats. Removed the seat covers, one for sale and the other to be used as a template for an upholsterer to make new covers matching the cognac interior. I've decided to have the seat back shells painted to match the other plastic of the interior. This will also help minimize the amount of black. As for scuffing the back, I thought I could put on something like ClearBra to protect that.
With the weather getting into the 30s this week, I may start on the rear Z06 brake install.
Should have everything to finish up the interior, other than the seat covers, sometime next week.

Dom, don't you have a heated garage yet? I blew some insulation in the ceiling and sides of mine and installed an electric heater hanging from the ceiling. The heater and 220 line cost about $600. I keep it at about 50 degrees most of the winter but if I want to work I can run it up to 60 or more temporarily. Here is a picture-- you can see it in the back corner. Very happy with the results. It doesn't seem to adversely affect my electric bills materially. -- Bob

Bob where did you get it from?

Heated garage is the best. I heat mine with geothermal. Now all I need is that lift.
