Where did you get the black window trim or did you have your trim redone? If redone how was it done or who did it?

I had the window trim powder coated satin black. The heat warped the trim so it got tossed in the trash and new black trim ordered from Porsche.

Window frames were completely dissembled, glass beaded and then satin powdercoat, same with lower window trim.

The mirrors are the Achtungkraft bolt in mirrors. some grinding to the hook was required to get them to fit correctly, but they were absolutely worth it.

I also have a ducktail for the car, but we are going with the slick back for now.

That first drive feeling...

Good news is that I have all 5 gears and reverse. Car still needs an alignment, but was able to get it out for a short run.

Still a few adjustments to make, going to need to sort out the carb tuning a bit more once the motor is broken in, but it's pretty close.

We can't see the video / pics Ryan, because your Instagram profile is private.

Congrats on the first drive!! I'll be interested to hear how you like the Konis, I have a set of those or Bilsteins and am not sure which to go with on my 3.6 build.

Cheers,
Lukas
