Interesting, you have some sort of mechanical linkage going inside the cockpit allowing you to manually lower and raise the headlamps? Something like the old Opal GT's back in the early 70's? I have never heard about this option.

Here is the second update. The car is pretty much primered. Many of you have pm'd me of the shop. The name of the Shop is called Bergen Imports. Harry is the owner who i have an relationship for over 6yrs. He also has a couple of 951's of his own and knows the car very well.
This is his contact info.

Lookin' good! Congrats!


I've actually got a set of all-black door cards from a 951 if you're interested. The cards are in nice shape and have no fading or blemishes in the vinyl itself. The driver's side does suffer from some delamination (3rd pic) and the passenger side has a little water damage. But more importantly, they're both straight and true.

Unfortunately my PM inbox is full so if you're interested, let me know in this thread and I'll shoot you a PM with my email address.
