We went back and forth on the rockers. To make it look correct we needed to fill the holes and disincentive it is real Carrera we decided to not do any body work that could not taken back to stock. I still have all of the OE parts, engine, etc.

I have owned since 1981.

Enjoy! First thing it reminded me of was Mr. R Gruppe Cris Huergas' '74 Carrera that he had through the '80s and '90s.

Who's with me in enjoying seeing a car like this done up, as opposed to a ______ or a _____ ______ "creation". Let alone the ___ abortions?

Thanks Ken!

Do you think I can earn an invite to R Gruppe? 1975 Carrera (and yes, the orginal whale tail was restored also) may be too new!

The new Texas tags will say, "EXRACR", as this was my PCA club race car for over 10 years.

I've had it since 1981!

Some very very cool details in that car. nice twin plugs.

Are your rotors floating and held in place with T-locks? If so, do they clunk over low speed bumps? If they don't clunk, what did you use to prevent the clunk?
