Parts started to arrive from eBay, in the form of a nice used airbox, and a period-correct badge.
At this point, I enlisted my friend and neighbor, Jet. He's a seasoned painter, and was running with the VW/Audi crowd back when I was messing with WRX's. Rival turned teammate! The plan was to begin teardown the next morning...
So I put the car to bed for the night. Honeymoon: over. Big day ahead! (Yeah, I had to throw on those Turbo phone dials, rotted tires be-damned!)
