From seeing it inside to outside, the wow factor increases ten fold. I could not be happier with the outcome as it is stunning in person.

Wow.... great color choice. I think I saw a similar hue on a 356 one time. It has a ball glove tan leather interior. The color combo was nice. The blue on your turbo looks great. Thank you for keeping us all updated.

Any more pics? Is this the DPMotorsports gurney flap? I was considering buying it to my car as well.

Quick question. I am installing the RUF front bumper kit and I am curious, is that simply an extension for the radiator hoses for the front radiator? In other words, you did not flip the radiator but simply extended the current radiator hoses with that fitting and some extra hose? If so, how did it work out and is that a custom fitting for the stock hose or can I get the part number? I like the idea of reusing the Turbo piping.

I love your build and color.
