Yea, *****, guess, what? Some of us are working still.

Check out my work tonight........

This car has been in our hands since November. Yes, that is Sterling time, a long time.

It's a customers car, one that is now coming to completion. Chuckles didn't say yes or no to posting pictures so I'm going to anyway, and if he says no, then I'll delete them. It's an '88, had a full suspension upgrade minus the sways, brakes, rotors, calipers, t-belt check, trans service, aero mirrors, CV joints rebuild/swap, rewiring of damn near everything thanks to a PO, X-Pipe, Keyless entry, all filters, plugs, coolant. You name it, it's been done to it.

It got it's first bath tonight and I was not happy and besides the fact that Chuck was going to take it for a detail, I went ahead and had some fun with the buffer. Some rags and leatherique. I do hope I never own a black car.

Wow! Thanks Sean - You are 'da man! It looks fantastic. I owe you and Roger (in addition to $$$).

10 months of work - you just can't rush greatness. I can't wait to pick up the "new" car in about a week. Hopefully we can get a quick 928 run in Big D.

I will call you later.

Thanks Again!!!

Hope your happy with it buddy. She's all set to go to chuck now.

See you next weekend.

Chuck, she's going to need some miles put on her before the alignment. I'll be taking it to Rog's on Monday so I can refit the belly pans. I do wonder though, how long that coolant was in there, it was a dark, I mean DARK blue.

I was just guessing that the coolant was toast! That's probably one of the most overlooked items on these cars. Speaking of which, I have NO idea how old it is in the GTS. I need to get on that and the oil change!

BTW, did Stretch call you in regard to getting the tires on? Also, can you and Rog hook up w us next Sat. when we get the car back from Align?
