It was tough to make the plunge, and Im letting go of a car thats very special to me to make this happen. Its going to a good home and while Im leaving some money on the table, its going to someone who wont be flipping it and I should have an opportunity later on to buy it back. Hopefully the stars align, but thats way down the road
From my annual 1/1 Drive. It was this day that the writing was on the wall that I was going to need a little more than this car could offer me.
Now, back to the 911... I have my first major change/ purchase happening this weekend. Its a set of Recaro seats. Probably spending a little more than I should on these, but its cheaper than GT3 seats, they both recline and I think the style will go perfect with what Im going for.
As for mounting, I think BreyKrause has the setup Im looking for. Open to opinions about this, but I dont think I have many options.
and finally, I've always been a big fan of build threads as Im from the generation where forums were THE place to share stuff, but I do have an IG and a small YouTube to just share various things.
If you're interested its @the_tuman_show but you'll get most of the same content here
Congrats on the 996 and love seeing those build/diary/whatever you wanna call it threads. Sounds like you scored a great example. I know many people find white cars boring but I love them. Look forward to seeing the progress.
That Alfa is beautiful and certainly a very different driving experience. My good friend has a fully rebuilt step-nose to replicate the Alfaholics cars with a revvy 1.3L motor and a spare 2.0L one. There's also a gentleman with a California GTV in same color like yours he recently purchased but a total sleeper with a V6 Buso motor shoved into it.
This past Friday I had the day off because my brother was supposed to come to town for the weekend. He bailed, but I still attended all my car related events.
-Fueling up at the Shell thats at the Angeles Crest base.
-Good Vibes Breakfast Club, alternate location. Attendance was light because of the NorCal Luft event and all that stuff
-Saturday, my Alfa came home from the passenger side rocker repair. Just a few steps left before it goes away... It took a lot of work to move stuff around to make it all fit. Doesnt look that way, but its pretty tight inside
-Sunday was the monthly Los Angeles Cars & Coffee. My kiddo was awake early so I took her with me. She got to see cars, some random person saw her and gave her a Hot Wheels of the OG Batmobile and then later we played in Griffith Park. Win! Even though this isn't the seat I bought for the car, it works for now. Cant wait to swap out all the seats.
Speaking of seats, I also picked up the Recaro SR2's on Saturday and ordered the BreyKrause Mounts with the Recaro Sliders today. I have Thursday off, so I might begin the swap, but the garage is already tight. We'll see if I can make it work... I want to so the will is there, just have to find a way. Thats assuming the parts arrive in time
