I drove through that same tree in my Coupe, back in '89 I think was. Was the last straw for my original Boge rear shocks. Found replacement at Dick Smothers Auto parts, Near Napa, where we were staying at a B&B. Mentioned "situation" to owner over dinner. He then revealed he had this Porsche "out back" with a fully kitted out shop and I was welcome to do the install using any tools I needed. Nice! Oh, the wine was great too! 
Pictures for insurance .
Great fun, more pictures.
I actually worked on it! I have been distracted with work, house stuff, the 1600 and a new-to-us 1967 hot rod beetle for Amy. But no excuses. The fact is, my pace on the coupe chassis work stinks. I am working on a new plan that might help accelerate my progress. But for now, I am so happy to have spent a wee bit of time on the floor where I left off. Details...
Did it without my coupe there, but was honored to tour Peter Glesson‘s BMW collection today with the BMW classic club while we were on our Pacific Northwest tour… many thanks to Peter for sharing his time with us, he was a very gracious host and his passion / love of the cars shows through his actions.

Tried starting it for the first time in a couple months and it won’t run I think the fuel lines have gone dry in the heat. I think it’s time to go through all that and add an electric pump at the tank.

That's exciting!
Alvaro ( @alprada70) sent me his turn signal gaskets. I noticed water spots in the plastic lenses during the Legends & Amelia recent events.
His closed-cell foam gaskets fit perfectly and they replaced the hard, skinny, probably 50-year-old gaskets that let in that moisture.

Great ! Thank you @Drew Gregg
Installed the new elephant skin wheel arch covers @alprada70
While in there I wiped out the entire interior of the trunk. Amazed at how dirty it was but not obvious. The water in the bucket turned brown. CORRECTION: Parts were from KastellikClassicCar

Today, ToughShine on the tires and a bit of touch up paint
Electrical repairs 98% completed mid day… good news this afternoon I hope from Don.
learn, learn,...
Hey Stan, have you considered the black decal behind the side grills? I think it would be a great addition. I think Carl Nelson sells them.
