Fingers crossed--the brake work is done, at least until after the initial break-in.

With my confidence high, I got out the front suspension under tray. Kinda lumpy, but nicely powder-coated. And new edge rubber.

I had to chase the threads in the mounting tabs on the cross member. My powder coat shop was generally very good about protecting threads, but these got coated. Not much room to spin the tap.

Under tray installed. Reflections from my dryer vent tubing make it look lumpier than it is.

Latest white board check. When all this is done, the car should be ready for a first road test.

I picked up my targa top at the paint shop today. Not quite stock (and not as glossy as it looks in the photo). I like it.

Meanwhile, I drive down to Albuquerque today to pick up my new windshield. Local vendors were not interested or able to help me. Rich at 914Werke came through, with the option to collect at a wholesale glass distributor.

Here's how to transport glass when your truck has an oil leak (and your wife's Mercedes is more comfy to drive, anyway).


I did the same. Rich is good people also

I got my repro oil temp sender from Pelican (in a box tagged Sierra Madre). Now time for more detective work.
