Car looks great. Not sure if you know about this already, but they make bulbs for the front turn signals that are silver when not in use but still glow amber.

Except painting the car all the work done by myself. I even took it apart in pieces to save money, put it back together as well. So far I could comfortably say around $10,000.00

Thank you for your kind words. Car is a 1985 Euro 3.2 Carrera. I like the Dansk Sport exhaust, it is tame, high rpms it reminds me of my old 997s with Fisker exhaust. Not too loud, and very civilized driving around. Honestly I could use more sound

Hey Jason, long time no talk, hope to catch up soon.

Fantastic looking car! Is there a way to get a high-resolution version of your third photo, my work computer needs a new backdrop.

Stefan at GTS is a fantastic guy to work with.
