Default New to renlist with transformation pics

Hi my name is Sam Matthews and I have a 77 930 I purchased as a basket case several years ago I restored it to my liking but I am not quite finished with the drive train to my satisfaction. I will be asking a lot of questions on upgrades See the before and after pictures. Thanks Sam

Now that restoration job took some serious brass nuts to even start. She sure does look nice now.

ALL I CAN SAY IS HOLY SH@T! That is fantastic. I would have seen that car, played taps in my mind and walked away in disgust that anyone could do that to a car. I wouldn't treat an old Toyota Tercel so bad.

What a fantastic job! You should give props to shops you used...looks like you and they have some talent.

I have always wanted to "Help" in a rebuild...too chicken to do one myself (time, space & money).

I bet in a concours you would win people's choice. Especially if you had pictures of before/after for people to see. Great job again.
