I would have loved to have you all over to share a beer while I cracked my knuckles but since I don't really know anyone yet I was too shy to ask.

OK, I'll bite... what is a PRMD?

And it wasn't toooo ballsy to do the drop by myself. I've been doing the majority of my own wrench turning for about 25 years now. I cut my teeth (and many other things) on a '71 VW Bus. I had it down so good that I could drop that engine in 1/2 hour easy. (Did a valve lap job on my friends '70 in a townhouse parking lot in 4 hours.) Finally had to give up the '71 after 305,00 miles (and on it's fourth engine).

I've had the '77 Carrera 3.0 since 1985 and was active in PCA Potomac back in the late 80's. I haven't been to a DE for about 12 years or so. Maybe there will be one in the future (at the moment my attention is on my son and wife and hang gliding).

The color is Minerva Blue. Not sure how long they offered it or if it was a Euro color only. The car was grey-market imported in '85.
