Thank you all!

Update: Right now we are still dealing with ridiculous stuff like a windshield wiper fuse pulled as the wipers were installed wrong, wiping over the hood. Shoddy used brake calipers installed replacing the original ones. Missing frunk carpet. Bald tires. Thank god most of the stuff we are finding does not require any paint and the engine and gearbox seem to be good. We have already doubled my original $5k estimate to sort out the car. Curious what we find next.....

Not having a good week. You should have dropped it off by me, I would have messaged it back to health for you LOL.

First mods completed. I think I got really lucky with this car.

Very nice, I love the steering wheel choice too!

If you haven’t bought a frunk carpet yet I have a spare one, just pay for shipping. It has a small hole on the drivers side but it’s not really noticeable unless you tug at it. I only replaced it as I’m showing my car and would get a deduct for that. Shoot me a PM if interested.

Many thanks! New frunk carpet is in too. Disappointed with the fit but will fix that.

For what it's worth, looks better than mine... I just don't let people see my trunk.

The interior looks great. Hope the estimate was cinservative and comes back down a little. The things mentioned don't seem to big a deal, except perhaps the brake calipers.

Thank you! I am surprised how expensive those calipers now are. Wish I would have kept my stock RSA brakes when I converted that car to big Blacks. I will just look to refurbish the ones on the car. For whatever reason, the rears are 2 pots so I will buy some used 4 pots and refurbish. As a bonus I found that the car has the RS suspension. Lug nuts are being painted today.

I will need a good original looking modern radio as well with BT and maybe phone hands free capability.

Go with the continental TR unit from tore @ bergville. Bluetooth phone and music matches interior great. He is plug and play connectors available also. Other option is Porsche classic but that’s 4x the price.

+1 for the Continental unit. Perfect mix of modern features and period look.
