Decided to enlarge radiator exit holes in my wheel wells and add some bracing.
While I am at it started replacing the damaged front trunk floor.
Sorry for pic quality.

This repair attempt happened sometime in the car's past and I just ignored it.
Cut out the bad and made a big hole.

Got a patch panel from Restoration Design and could not be happier with the quality and fit.
Slowly getting there

Scott at 914 Rubber called to give me an update on the tan upholstery order for the '71 ('HOWARD') (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)


Also, took delivery of a nice NOS luggage rack that I purchased from Rex (914runnow) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Elvira is still in the paint shop, so I took my other car out for a drive with some friends.

Going for a different look in 2019 on my SIX. If all goes well I should have my wheels powder coated in a few weeks. Then paint an extra set of side mirrors. Yesterday I added my black bumpers plus amber lenses. Later on I plan to go back to Fuchs...now enjoying Boxster wheels with 255/40/17 on all corners.

I just ordered a pair of nice repro Hella 128 fog lights from SMC to replace the old rusty broken ones on the 911.

Here the are (regular price is $396., but they're on sale for $258. through 1/15/19) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Wish me luck on my first powder coat project...using RAL 2010 powder on my wheels after I bead blast and prime white. Liquid painting center caps.

Stay tuned...
