I could certainly.
Pretty short notice for everyone else perhaps.

So that made way for a custom Monty exhaust that has been exceptional in every way.
Sounds great, makes great power (310 hp/271 torque), fits perfect.
Rothsport did the inlets in house to mate up with the 993 HE's.

That said, this current setup will likely give way to a set of custom headers (no heat) along with a GT3RS muffler for even better sound and performance.

Great car and awesome color. Do you have any sound clips of the Monty muffler? I have the 993 HE with M&K and curious what the Monty sounds like. Thanks.

Think the weather here in Oregon will be OK tomorrow, so I'll get some start up and idling videos of the car. It sounds pretty good I think. Check back tomorrow.

Got the re-upholstered headrests back from Stefan at GTS Classics yesterday.
Tons better than the plaid headrests that pre-dated these.

Drove across a big screw on my new Pirelli P7's putting a gigantic hole in the front tire.
Don't feel comfortable plugging and patching the tire for reasons I'll detail later, so a new front has been ordered from Lucas Tires.

After that, I'll have some pics and driving videos up on this site.
Soon after the car will hopefully be going to BaT to a new owner.
I've had the car 33 years...think it's time to finally close this chapter and move on to something different.

Kermie is a true beauty Doug. Down to the smallest detail. I'm sure the new owner is will be most pleased.

HarryD 06-11-2021 05:02 PM

Hmmmmmm. Looks like seats in the teener. Are you going to make the buyer buy both cars so they can swap them back and forth?

Teener seats:

A very different plaid from the green car which is basically a VW GTI plaid.

The teener is a real tartan: Robertson Modern Hunting

I've been skooled.

skinnerd 07-24-2021 07:13 PM

Kermie after 33 years of ownership is going up on BaT in the next few weeks hopefully to go to a new owner.
It's time to move on to newer projects...I think I've done all I can.
Here's a few pics I took recently:

Can't wait to watch your auction, I think Kermie will do well! Great pics BTW. As a native/former Oregonian I can't help but think you need a UofO Duck on there somewhere too (even though my family were mostly Beav's) ;-)

All the cleaning is complete.
Car hasn't been this clean in years I'll bet. ;) :p SmileWavy

Bring A Trailer photographer coming this afternoon to take pics.
Hopefully the car will be on-line by next week.

Kermie updates will definitely be missed. Definitely an impeccable build with some many unique personal details!

Look forward to seeing whatever is next for you.

Here's a startup video I just made.
Will get a driving video very soon.

BaT/Snappr photographer trying some fun "in motion" shots.
Warp speed up the driveway. Ha
That's the story of my life....it's all been a blur.

I'm being told that Kermie is going live on Bring A Trailer tomorrow, Wed Aug 25.
I'll put the link on this thread when that happens.
Hopefully we'll find a new caretaker for the old girl.
