Thank you gentlemen and thanks for asking

Can you say "ADDICT", great looking car man....just beatiful!

[Noel]

Wow the car looks GREAT. I love the color combination of the interior.

Is that an Elephant strut brace?

[rcm]

Hey, I think I recognize some of that interior.

[UTKarmann_Ghia]

What was the setup of the engine before to get 215 hp at the crank?

[Shuie]

Awesome car. One of my favorites on this site.

[rdane]

Peddles are AJ USA billet aluminum set.

Yes, Elephant strut brace.

The '79 3.0 had:
Carrera hydraulic chain tensioners, new style lines and
support arms, Air pop off value, new preasure sender
and oil tank sender, turbo camshaft oil line restrictors,
B&B stainless front oil cooler, Webcam, performance
grind, 20/21 cams, new OEM rockers, Heat sheets,
Magnecor wire set, turbo value covers, SSIs and a dual
in/out Danske stainless, Pre 1974 oil lines. 185 was
the best it had done at the wheels..215 crank. But it
dyno'ed half dozen times between 182/3 hp. All with
a set of bent valves done at least 14K miles ago.

Here is some of the details from the under side.


Ok, ok it was a very small show and shine

My biggest concern now is going to be leaving the Momo behind at a lunch break 8-0

Anyone care to explain the rust on my stainless Danske from Pelican?

[vash]

damn, what kinda camera are you using? those first two shots look like you used a hasselblad or leica with set up lighting! i know for a fact that my digi cam cant do that, but my german cameras can.

you are way over the top! i LOVE it!

Nice job.

Lower grade SS must be used on the muffler. 4 series instead of 3 series.

[speeder]

Beautiful car, and I can tell that you are getting a lot of enjoyment out of it! Very nice job.

[911pcars]

"..what kinda camera are you using?"

Film or pixels; it's the light. You either picked the right time to shoot it or you lit it beautifully. Either way, good job. Nice car.

BTW, if the rusty stainless bothers you, ceramic coat it. Silver looks just like stainless and will help preserve the base metal.
