Got some goodies for the car today, installed some H4 Headlights instead of the sugar scoops that were on it, huge improvement, i didn't hate the sugar scoops, but i like the classic clean H4 look. For those who don't know, this is a 1977 that had 964 front & rear bumpers installed on it by previous owner. I also picked up a 3 spoke steering wheel will install soon instead of the ugly one thats on it now. PS: The screws really show on the H4 in the front, i think i need new screws, there isn't something that covers the screws is there?

 

There are paintable rings.....something the guys told me about AFTER I painted my black rings.

Car looks 10X better already. Now get out of there before when of them Down's 928 wants to mate...they are worse than the Mantis.

 

I like the chrome- I actually have all the chrome outer trim for the car, seller gave it to me when i bought it- so if i take it back to a proper 77 it will all match- Not even sure if i'll take it back to a 77, it looks fine now and i just spent $1500 on CDI, warm up regulator, new ignition mechanism, adjusted timing & oil change..but who knows..baby steps..NEXT STEP IS LOWER IT!

 

Bring it.

 

Now it looks like a 964, aside from the chrome throwing it off. They definitely fit the car better than the scoops though, those were just confusing. Nice car!

yeah not a fan of the chrome , maybe its just because you have not done the other chrome stuff yet.

 

There are rings that could be added on and painted? if i get tired of the chrome?

 

absolutely there are . and it would look terrific if you got them painted body colour.

 

I think i'm painting the car back the original color Grand Prix White..what do you think? or leave it Gray? it still kind of needs repaint but i need to make up my mind

 

Where's your windscreen (windshield) squirters?

I also have a spare set of painted H4 headlight trim rings if you want them. You'll have to buy the new applicable screws to hold them in.

 

i think i'm leaving the chrome- no idea where squirters are.

 

No idea about paint , it's a personal choice. But i would not be surprised at a 10k bill for paint.

 

My friend down here painted a 76 targa in Glasurit.
superb bare metal respray. cost him $16K

 

hehe, guys, if i paint the car it will be a $2500 paint job.
