@Root Werks: Thank you for the feedback! It was an adrenaline rush at the time!
@bkrantz : Thank you as well...I've been following your build since the beginning...a very impressive (and extremely well detailed) restoration! I'll let you know about that offer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Although, I'm not sure how the carbs will respond to that elevation! I just realized, I never posted my Part II Video to this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgQzDg4PQxk |

Going through some old files (spring cleaning!) and I came across an old photograph of my car.
This was from the eBay ad when I purchased it in September 2002...plastic rockers, front air dam, whale tail and all! Sure am enjoying driving it now! |

I was especially careful during my project not to damage the front windshield (I think it may have been original).
I had only driven the car about a month when an unfortunate rock chip on the lower passenger side developed into a crack before I even got the car back home. Ordered the installation kit from AA, the dash moulding from Stoddard and the XYG (green tint) windshield from KoolKatz. Also picked up a pair of inexpensive grips from Harbor Freight. The windshield was delivered on Friday and installed today. Actually was a much easier job than I had planned. I know there has been a fair bit of discussion about windshields...Porsche OEM (which I couldn't find), the XYG and the PGW. At first glance, the XYG looks pretty good and sealed well to the butyl tape all around. No complaints so far. PS: I did have to order an additional rear view mirror pad this afternoon...I mucked the first one up...should've been the easiest step of the install! Attached thumbnail(s)

Nicely done! My painter wants to pull my windshield. Pretty much expecting it'll break.

How’s the car Rob? @9146C Hope you are driving it, Don’t let it be a garage queen!
Anything else done to it? Not that it needs more. Beauty as is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Hello Dion!
I can't believe it's already been a year since I completed my build. Fortunately, no significant issues since I put her back on the road...yeah, she does/is driven...always a smile on my face when behind the wheel. Haven't taken on any new projects with her...just enjoying her for the time being. Hope you're enjoying your car as well...you did a great job on your build BTW! (I'm a little jealous of your choice of colors!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Regards, Rob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
