Sure, I'd be happy to meet and show RedRocket. Right now my engine guru, Jason Lee, is repairing something I damaged recently, so it's not running for a few more weeks.

I'd be curious to hear more about the engine. I had a few emails back and forth with Jason about a year ago. He had some interesting things to say. Would like to know more about your motor and what is being repaired etc. Any dyno sheets? Great story about you owning the car since new. It looks in excellent condition.

Can't wait to get rid of those holes in the nose panel that previous owners did. Thought it was cool at first, but will get them patched up to return to stock.

Digging through some old pics of my 951 days and found this one. Look Ma no gloves with 500RPMs left to go. Just not enough pavement..

Cheers, Mike

That's a great looking car and color! What color is your interior? Mine is also an '89 with a Marine Blue interior.

Thanks for the compliment, yours has the mods underneath though! Interior is a lovely blue striped velour with blue pleather surrounds, front drivers seat needs the velour replacing and currently have the dashboard out restoring as they even crack in UK temps.

Great looking interior! My dash needs work too... It's interesting to see the differences between the two car's interiors, aside from the RHD vs. LHD; the seats and airbags, or lack thereof.

Dash was out in November, just finished and about to put it back in again

this is how it went...

Stage 1 take the clocks and other ***** and gauges out

Hope you have labelled everything correctly

Apply the wrong cleaner to the dash

Fill and sand it down so its smooth

Find a suitably coloured and expensive cow and put your dog on guard duty

Measure 100 times and cut once...or twice

ignore what anyone says about the milometer fix if you break the spindle a replacement dial is £600!! I found a complete 180mph cluster which was still expensive, but added chrome bezel surrounds

Took a long time, now the hard work begins putting it all back in again and hoping it all works
