    Thanks Fritz.

    Here is the plan:

    Lowered, original color, the car was an original leather car, but I am doing the full interior in leather with hounds-tooth inserts, 6" Fuch, engine was warmed up by one of my techs 15 years ago & will stay as-is (1750cc), car stays true to Porsche philosophy. Heck here is a photo of the goal:

    You got it Pete!

    Its just me man. Found it, disassembled it, did the body work, reassembling it. I have a control problem... I am letting a 'ol pro do the leather & hounds-tooth. But I will do the headliner & carpet.

    Its like 100 ambient here so - little bites. Got the gauges back from North Hollywood speedo restoration. Man I want to put them in. They are gorgeous.
