I REALLY like Bob Ingram, cool to see his CGT listed as the earliest in the US! AMAZING, but I probably shouldn't be to surprised, he did set me up with a private tour of the factory in 2000! Wish I still worked for the company that he and I were both at back then...Oh well...

Curious about your question about tranny mounts. It is safe to say the car will get new tranny mounts. Does PET list something different for early?
I read about Greg's -03 rebuild. Curious if anyone got the serial number off it?

For those who have specific questions, I will do my best to respond to them in time. My nephew lives right down the road and is a budding "car guy". He's thrilled about this car. And ask him from time to time to do some research.

US model 0016 was made some 6 months later. This means all or at least most cars including maybe 600-700 ROW build before it should have similar features.

Rixter, Good talkin' with ya...
James, Lets go, man!
Lots going on, but nothing really worth mentioning...
Found the PO insalled a radiator cap in place of the gas cap. LOL
Got an early metal one on the way from 928 International. Thanks Mark & Thanks Rob for the tip!

do a search on stainless steel gas cap, you'll find plenty of pics
it essentially is the same cap but steel, only on 78 phases out late that year to the red plastic cap... IIRC it was due to potential for electrical conduction/spark problems causing fires (doh!)

I'll try to remember to take a pic this weekend.
