quite a lot ...

i paid a lot of attention to my targa top and the seal as i was trying to make it water-proof and sound-proof and get rid of the "squiiiek" ...

at least on my car, the rear seal sits mostly on the targa bar and just the outer edge, kind of rolled up rubber lip, barely touches the top of the chrome trim ...

PS: BUT, as well all know, not all 914s are created equal.
plus, i'm using a late model top on an early car. while they're quite different, i didn't think the overall length was different.
maybe it is?

Christopher,

Dude, your car is coming along nicely.

Did Los Panchos hit you up for extra bucks?

AND:

Whats your time frame for getting the engine back together?

Clayton

Be careful when "rushing" them. They will want to please you at the cost of quality. I did not rush them on any of the cars that I had done, but on mine they were in a hurry to please me even though I told them (like I always did) that, "No tengo prisa. Solamente quero lo ser perfecto porfavor. Tienes tiempo." (I am not in a hurry. I just want it to be perfect please. You have time.)

I have found little things on my car that kinda pissed me off. Mainly because I do not live there any more and can not have them fix it. They will fix things if they are not right. The guy who did my mom's '74 VW bus didnt get the rust off of some spots before painting and it started to bubble through. Well, she took it down and had them fix it for free. She is MY mom and does speak fluent spanish, but I think that they would do it for any valued customer.

I am not planning on rushing them.. Its taken this long already, I can wait a little longer. They already missed a couple of spots that I saw yesterday. So they have to go back and fix that too..

Cris,

car really looks nice. Cool touch with the riveted-on flares.


Do you mind sharing with us the itemized total on the bill? Work done?

Thanks
