Sorry for the belated post all. I got home in fine time and good spirits last night. Today was emissions and tag day and then a really cool ride with my son. Also stopped at a Porsche dealer and bought a new **** for the power mirror controls and one for the vent mix. I hated that those ***** were missing. Oh, I also washed and Klassed her today. Pics below.

Can't wait to take my 9 year old boy (see below) with me to Florida and pick up my 911 and road trip it back to Maine! Congrats.

The kids are the best thing about these old cars. I bought a 69 Camaro. , my little girl saw the car and ran outside, hugged it and said, "Is this mine, Daddy?"

Ahh, the memories . . .

Nice looking car. I am in the Atlanta area (Buford/Suwanne) and get u to the North GA mountains quite a bit for a drive. When you want to go let me know.

I also enjoy wrenching on these older ones. The spaces are tight but so far I have been able to do a lot of the work myself.

@YumYum-
Thanks for the offer!. It has been years since I wrenched much. My first car was a 1972 opel gt and I knew every inch of that car. I am hoping to get very familiar with this one too.
