I did all this in one day, by myself.
Impressive!

Picked up some assorted interior parts (Dash, Console, etc) from Bob Budd today. Wow do they look good. Really make me regret taking the car apart as much as I did while I was waiting, as now I need to finish that stuff before I can get the interior together!

Dropped off my 928 with Elgreco in Smithtown, Long Island, he is teaming with Jensan Racing to juice my S4 with cams, PEMs chip, tune, Xpipe. Two evil genius wrenches. Film at 11, let's see what happens ��

The freight company dropped off the used transmission for my 89, today. Gonna get a few things from Roger, so it'll be serviceable for use while Doc. Brown has the one in the car at present for a rebuild. Do a bunch of other stuff like have the trans line rebuilt with new hoses, etc.

Anthony ... it is still in a box. Had to get an engine into the car first. After that, sorting out a couple of small issues probably related to the engine install OR not driving so long. Like a mirror that fell off; fuel tank vacuum; gauge intermittent. seems like it's good now, I'm very cautiously exercising it as often as I can now. One thing I'll say is the torque delivery on this car is VERY different from what I've grown accustomed to the past 5 years with 2 turbos. I remember now it takes a unique driving style to get it to give you what it can. This is an automatic as well, which takes much more than Godzilla did, to put the torque down. It does, but you really have to use that shifter.

Settled up with the other guy's insurance company, so I took the bad bits off the Stepson. Got all the way down to the front bumper shocks before darkness called a halt.

Now I just got to make a list.

Beautiful day out today.

Spent some stripping our donor.




Front half is nearly picked over. Now working my way through locks, dash and doors.
