You are correct, I will probably never finish ... But, I will get it to run
Yes, it's a 88' SLIBER ROSA

I used Al Reed before moving to Nashville to clean up the peeling clear coat and revitalize my 3.6 Turbo 3pc knock offs. Wheels are great, Al is very interesting and does A LOT of wheels. Super nice and I thought he was quitereasonable.
I swear that between you and Kevin, the rest of us just don't stand a chance. I'll have to come back to Cal to work on my tan from the reflection when you are done.
You might research Zoopseal when you are done if want to seal the shine in, but if something goes awry, you need to re-polish.

Hi Rob
LOL
I actually bought the Zoop Seal 5 yrs ago to use it on the Aluminum but it went bad before I got to use it.... Old Formula vs New Formula
So I had to buy it again (not cheap stuff) .... So I coughed up an additional 60 over the 120 I paid the first time ... I thought it was a bit of a PITA to use but after I got into it it was pretty easy
In hindsight, I just wish I had Al do more of the stuff .....
Thanks for the compliment
Best regards
Ed

I can't even look under the hood of mine anymore. I found myself looking at the pictures and slightly turning toward my car and saying out loud "I can't even LOOK at you right now"

WOW WOW WOW, very nice. I am proud of my strut brace and the letters on the cam cover. I wish I had the patience to do this.
