LWF and clutch - if there is any $ left then:

New motor mounts - Wevo or RSR
New suspension - HD or PSS9
New shifter and handbrake - contrast the cashmere with black

I would LOVE some recaro pole positions in the car, but everytime I get serious about this, I back off. I think this will have to wait a bit longer and I plan to just enjoy driving my beauty as much as I can in 2008!

Howard,

I have the name of the wheel refinisher somewhere. Stuarts seems to be the best body shop, RUF will install the MO30 for $1000 including alingnment, and I have a great convertible top guy who is cheap! Can I help you spend your money?

BTW, Dan, who you met last week, is getting his MO30 installed by RUF in the next couple of weeks. And he just bought 5 spokes from a RLer.

My plan is the usual one and that is to endeavor to not stuff the car into a wall.
