Hello,
yesterday we put the car I bought last week on a tow truck and brought it to my garage, I checked the paing code and it's L04I, the car had yellow bumper and rocker panels as well as yellow Mahle rims, all was painted black long time ago. Sway bars front and back, never had vinyl sails, black metal trim on the targa bar as well as leather shift boot, also grey headlight covers. It's a Bumblebee, I'm sure now! Still looking for good paint shops in the Seattle area and some good advice, the car needs a few things after being parked for 20 years in a garage. Rust is not to bad, the only area which need work is the battery tray, all the other areas look good so far. - Juergen Attached image(s)

Thanks for the replies, I will for sure get the COA. The front spoiler is not the correct one, that's right, the former owner told me that they lost it and put another one on. Rust is in the battery area, I have to check the hell hole when the engine is out, all the other areas look fine so far. The interior needs work, after being in a garage for 20 years it needs new seat cover, new carpet, and the windshield is cracked. I will start with getting the engine out and then I will bring it to a body shop for handling the rust and painting it back to the original color. Any tips would be highly appriciated what I should do in addition, I restored one 20 years ago when I lived in Germany but that was a long time ago.

If you haven't already done so, get in touch with Jeff Bowlsby, he knows more about the LE cars then the rest of us combined! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Andy Thanks for this, I already contacted him and he is waiting for the COA to get it on the list of LE's he has. Are there any 914 drivers in Seattle close to Renton/Fairwood where I live? Would be great having someone taking a look before I start to prepare for the bdy shop. |
