So, I had been thinking about getting a pickup-truck. . .
So, I had been thinking about getting a pickup-truck to haul around all those greasy, nasty car parts-- but now that I know the 996's trunk can handle it, why bother?
That is a block for my 951 which I got a steal on-- went and picked it up an hour and a half away today. Everything is great, I am very excited-- although I did drop it on my bumper:
. . .but that's no big deal-- I don't care, just want to get everything to get the 951 together. Plus I have an mk1 gt3 bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper winglets waiting to be painted. Should be on the car in about 2 weeks. I will post pictures of that when it is done- but here is a 'before' picture for reference:
