Ok, it's starting, almost all the pieces are in place.
I worked Spring and Summer getting the car all in primer and finishing up the custom valances. I actually thought this time last year I was suppose to be done. Here are some photos of the car last week getting towed to the bodyshop, and pictures of how it looked this morning. Next week I will start to assemble my two and a half years of acumulated stuff back onto the car and fit the engine. I will document it with pictures as I go along. The Completed Car Photos for those who want to skip all 25 pages: http://homepage.mac.com/davidchapman1/PhotoAlbum26.html The car is going to be a beauty and a very special 3.1 twin plug turbo powered one at that. Here are the past links showing the progression and R&D it's taken over the years to get the car to this point. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=16348&hl= http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...rrera&st=60 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...l=turbo+carrera http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...l=turbo+carrera http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=8438&st=0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Attached image(s)
