While looking around the house for some old photos, I found these of Knikki from the summer of 2002. This was right before I took her down to AA to be repainted, have the euro pistons put on, restoration of the gas tank, replacement of the right rocker panel & soforth. She had been sitting in the same spot for 23 yrs., gathering dust. She spent 356 days down there, odd number coincidence, & when she was done I drove her the 800 miles home. It's quite obvious from the photos that the car did not need anything like a full restoration, just a freshening up. You'll notice how my Dad had the front bumper & spoiler painted black, & the rear bumper as well. Also note all the dust all over her in the early shots & what she looked like after I washed her for the 1st time in 23yrs. The last shot proves that not all LEs' came w/ plastic badges, as you can see the 9 is broken & sagging from the 14. This only happened to metal bagdes & not the plastic ones. These were actual analog photos, so I had to scan them to get them on this blog.
