This is just too cool.. Did you ever say what you originally paid for the car? if you don't want to disclose, that is no prob, just curious to see how much value you added to it over the last few months

Paid $5025 for the car, cost around $1500 (fuel, hotel, dutty, etc) to get it to my driveway and a little under $2000 to fix it so far.

No coolant yet, waiting on a hose from the dealer. The video clip is the longest it ran so far.

I had some work done to the back of my car this summer at Pfaff Autowerks. Their in-house detailer polished my entire car and he did such a great job that I thought they painted the entire car. He used some product from Germany and told me the more you polish the panels the clearer the clear coat gets. It literally looked new car with not a single swirl mark. My 12 year old black Audi is there now getting a bunch of rusted panels replaced under warranty and the car is also black like my 911. Can't wait to see what they do to the panels not getting replaced and repainted.

Don't really have any. Have a couple that I took before putting it on the trailer but they are not that detailed. I'll put them up when I get home.

Only have exterior pics, took the first one when we arrived to buy it in July. Besides the that one, they are from the Pelican Add, posted by the dealer.

Check out the license plate!

I would have guessed it was some hot chick who worked with Brass Poles.
