The pictures. I'm sure, do not do her justice! I'm looking for a good excuse to travel your way to check her out in person :) and if the paint is done by then at least I can say I knew her when she was just a young pup in many pieces :)

Question- does she have a name?

Hi GolfBavaria

I got the rear roof wing from Zapp Race . Since then I lost the mounting kit so we had new mounts made .

the body shop has been busy. The guys at color works are ready to put the last coat of primer on the car. The 1st coat is used to help find inperfections , which are then smoothed out . They finished that process and now its ready for paint !

masking off the exterior so the interior, engine bay, roll cage, etc can get expoxy primer

the guys at Color works really paid a lot of attention to detail , more than I had hoped for, notice how nice the "shaved " engine bay has turned out

I wish my Coupe fund was bigger. I'd buy that $8k rust special and do this to it. Its been great seeing it come together, and I can't wait to see the final product!

Regretfully I will not be ready for the mitty . kinda of a bummer, but Id rather get it right than hurry and screw things up. It should be ready by summer , and Ill do some test and tune days over the summer , and hopefully by fall Ill have it all sorted out .
