Well, I said good-bye to her this morning. Keep us in your prayers. The sixer left for the full monte. Many thanks to this list. I was able to get all the parts I needed (and I may need more... stay tuned).
She get's stripped tonight and tomorrow and then the metal work begins. I purchased this one from the original owner. It was delivered to Dave Strong Porsche Audi here in Salt Lake City. The owner was a retired police officer and his wife drove the car back and forth to work mostly. Everything is dead original and will stay that way. Here's some pics as she left this morning: Attached image(s)

QUOTE Gint - Yes! Thank you. How mooch? Actually, I need to see if I can get it with the entire quarter first. I'll get you a real answer today. Shoot me a price in the mean time. Hey, you know how my pricing works. Shoot me a fair offer and I'll more than likely accept it. No idea what it's worth, never looked. Still need the engine bulkhead patch piece for an inspection cover? I could probably get out there this weekend and cut it. QUOTE Rusty - It was all done with a DA. That's Troy's preferred method. It only took him a few hours. 36 grit at very slow RPM No shit. Ask him what he thinks about the 3M stripping pads. IMHO, they are much more efficient at removing paint, generate less heat, and don't have to used quite as slowly as 36 grit paper. |
