Default It's alive and ready for VIR....

Finally, got the 911 done at 2:00 am this morning. Every nut and bolt fought back, as would be expected after 21 years. DaveyKid came out with his trailer to take the car to the hauler rendezvous since the car isn't registered for the street yet.... you rock, thanks.

Not as pretty as no.radar's car, but form follows function. Winter will be for getting it to look nice (and realigning the rear tail.)

The car's first view of daylight after 5 weeks of sitting up on jackstands with no suspension or interior:

The interior, for now. At least it's functional:

And the business end of the car. Ebay repro ducktail is a lousy fit but will give me the downforce I need for now. And I need to clean the grime off the bumper too from where I removed the bumper guards (15 lbs each!):

Plate on the car is the one my dad has had for the past 25 years (he was an eye dr.) so he's now riding along for his first track event.

All I need to complete the look is a TJR windshield boldertint. And a good bath for the car too.

Default Definitely one of our best customers, without a doubt! That mad M3 is always in our viewfinders!

See you there, Dave.

Have you been there before? It's awesome.

We were there just last weekend and will be there for thre more events this month (Leslie is still there. I had to fly back and I'm in Chicago now. Fly back in the AM).

Great place!

See you soon,

Mike S
