Nope. I'll poll those who read my thread first - how about Jan 23 or Jan 24 or Feb 13 or Feb 14? Vote here.

Today's the day that Peter's project car comes back to my workshop to get the glass reinstalled, excess wiring removed, etc. Then it heads back north to MD.

Pics later today. Hopefully we don't scratch the fresh black paint during reassembly!

I learned a vary valuable lesson today while working on Peter's car. If ya don't have the tools to remove a radio, you simply make the radio smaller.

Thanks to everyone who came. Thanks for the photos, Rick. Got the car in the garage today (got a little wet), and the inside of the car is slightly dryer than the outside (rear window leaks - a lot). Especial thanks to TR!!! We left everything at his house last night and he drove it up this morning so the two of us could get it up my steep driveway and into the garage.

Great to see the old car looking shiny again!! Looking forward to seeing her back at the track. Now you need to get all that ventilation crap off the firewall and out of the smuggler's box.

Did you remember that there was stuff in the car before you started pushing it up the driveway?

He wouldn't let me do that, I was well on my way as I removed the alarm from there.

Move engine from Targa to Coupe (and find replacement engine for Targa)

Ya, good solid handling is low on my track car list too.

IMO ship the trans off, rebuild the car now rather than at the track one %#$%^$ thing at a time during your run sessions.
