Thanks for the plug-a-roo (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

When do we go for a ride? I've always wondered what a teener felt like the day you drive it off the lot. 30 some years later and you'll accomplish that. Should be fun.

Thanks guys, I had a vision in mind. This will probably make some guys flinch - I wanted a better than factory fresh restoration and then I want to flog and drive the wheels off the car. Yeah, that's right, rain, crud, bugs, what have you - I would like to put 200,000 miles on this car before I pass it on to the next generation.

That's my plan as well. GO!

Great work so far Mr H, sometime I need to drive over there and get Eric and your help installing the windshield/targa seal. Last time mine ripped and you know how expensive they are. Did eric get you your seal?

I also got my car back from CFR welding a while ago. He does do great work.

Hell yeah, Eric is partsman. I give Eric all the credit, he just knows how to put the damn thing in, that and the lithium grease. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Glad to hear Chris fixed another one - and Racer Chris does outstanding work!!! Eric and I volunteer to put your next seal in - notice I'm volunteering Eric, I'm just the helper. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

refreshX4, 30 minutes, and nothing but red x filled boxes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) . i'm sure it looks swell william. if you haven't got to it, 3M double sided scotch tape works very well for securing the vapor barriers to the doors.

Next. Guess what I found when I went to put the door panels on? On the drivers side the arm rest/storage box is held in place up top by two bolts/phillips head that go into two "captive nuts" housed in the door. I noticed when I took the arm rest off a couple of years ago there was no bolt in the front hole. You know why? The captive nut is not in the door. Gotta get one.

Last one for now. Gotta go make some new door vapor barriers. Using the one olds for a pattern, but they are pretty torn up. Will post some pictures of the door panels in a little while. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Glue the backing for the back panel back in place and slapped the back panel in the hold it in place for the adhesive to set up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Today I started the project to install the dash. Got a late start so didn't get too much done today. Hope to have the dash completely installed over the next few days. Starting to look much more like a car again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I need the tool to install the front of the light switches, using the needle nose pliers in a real PITA. Got one from the local Porsche shop but it is too big - must be for 911 switches (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)
