Just arrived this afternoon from Bethel Park, PA. Absolutely filthy! But.. the car is one owner and only 16,000 miles on her. With alot of elbow grease it should clean up real well. Never seen one so original. Has the original Michi XZ radials, fuel lines that were replaced by the dealer durning the HO campain back in the day, etc. The owner John, hasn't driven her in about 8 years. Certianly needs some TLC to bring her back to her former glory and make her road worthy, but should be quite looker when done. Happy to document anything you guys need for the Originality forum. Thanks again for doing the PPI Bud. Bud and I added her to the Vin section.

Bud, I just started stripping out the interior. I'll take detailed photos of all the bolts, nuts, washers, and what goes where. I'll set up webpage for it when I get time. Maybe the reference will also be helpfull for Carrie, who is doing the nut & bolt kits. Don't hesitate to ask if you need some reference. If you could PM me your last name too.. Only have your address. I'll get something in the mail for you tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks again.
Tom, I found a nice local storage warehouse close by. They only take in Porsches and Ferraris. The red car will go there for the time being. Also have to drop it off to John and Ray Patterak to fix a few chips and scratch marks prior to long term storage. Could use some input on tires for the new one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I want to stay with 165s. Michelelin XZX @ $180 a pop are too pricey.. besides the car has ZX tires on it. So, whatever goes on it XZX or something else, won't be factory correct anyway. Again, thanks for the kind words folks. I was very lucky to get this one. I'll document the "resto" if you want to call it that, the best I can. All the scuff marks and scratches on the exterior cleaned up nicely. Rich keep me posted on the rims. Thanks for looking. I'm checking w/Porsche to see if new are available. |
