I acquired my Reatta last October but haven't done much work on it. It's a restoration project- mechanically it's pretty fine and most issues are cosmetic or electrical. I've started working on the interior bits while I sort out electrical issues, and thought I'd share. I finished working on the steering wheel with freshly wrapped leather and I repainted the steering wheel badge and added a little highlighting for the airbag (to quell some worries from family- now they can READ that it has the airbag!) The badge was airbrushed with a layer of gold then translucent yellow and orange and a paint marker for the black parts. I'll be doing the seats next.

Thanks, but the credit for a lot of that goes to my mom who does sewing/stitching work. I picked out the leather locally and did all the measuring and markings (and a light dye to better match)but she did the handiwork.

A little more today. Again it doesn’t look a lot different because some things were out of sight. Pushrods and rocker arms installed and valve covers buttoned up. Tapped the two former O-ringed openings in the supercharger for reducers and hose nipples. The opening is plugged below the tap so no debris from the tap gets inside. Bolted the supercharger in place after painting and draining the oil from the drive section. It is actually coming together.

I've told you guys that Tennessee isn't prepared for snow.
