Nice, very nice! Well except for the wheelie bar tail pipes anyways .

[ZAMIRZ]

Beautiful, I love the color. Now put that engine lid grille on and lets see some shots of that interior!

[Schrup]

Nice color, looks sharp. Should paint those tripping hazards yellow before someone racks their shins.

[cstreit]

Nice! It's amazing what teh Fuchs and script did for it! That car really benefited from your TLC

[KevinP73]

I have to echo Chris' comments. The wheels and graphics makes it look like a whole different car. I really like the color. But ditto on the pipes, can I send you a hack saw and a couple new blades?

[coolbreeze]

Great looking ride, what else can be said about the pipes that's already not been said?

[ted]

Nice color, I have not seen that combo before.
Nice job!

[jwetering]

I love everything about it. Be a man tho' and leave the pipes long. (kidding..kind of).

What colour is that anyway?

[smithH]

cracking car!! love the look and the colour.

those pipes, can someone explain what the point of having longer tail pipes is, there must be some benefit? Didnt the 356 Carrera get silly long pipes, why?

Yeah it's an unusual colour combination, but very nice. Great looking car. Only I don't like the exhaust pipes. If it was my car I'd shorten them.

You need some center caps for the wheels

[Chuck Moreland]

Looks great! Gulf blue right?

The pipes are just a little long. I'd take maybe two inches off.

My pipes are 12 inches measured from the muffler.

[Elombard]

Thanks Guys

Chuck do you have a pic of the back. I was thinking of going shorter, I guess I could sneak up on it until I the length I like

[Elombard]

Yes it is Gulf Blue

Here is a shot of my poor mans rs seat delete.

I took the carpet and seats out, fixed the rust :-))

used spray glue to put down the foil sided heat/sound deadening you get at the parts store for $10. Then glued the old carpet back down. The carpet kit that was in the car had an extra piece that went on top of the seats when they were layed down. with slight trimming it fit where the parcel shelf used to go. My wife really liked the way the seat bottom looked and it does not weigh much so I put them back. Makes a good finished look.

Why not 245's in the rear since you have SC flares and 8's?

[RickM]

You need fishtails on the end of those puppies.

Looks good! (The car in total that is)

[Wayne 962]

You'll take the pipes off the first time someone comes up to you at a light and smacks right into the back of them...

[rattlsnak]

BB"1" eh? Dude....putting a "1" at the end implies that there will be a "2". This is bad juju. Don't follow in uncle Jack's footsteps. Keep the rubber side down on "BB", and don't do anything that will make the windscreen propel outward.

Looks great by the way.
