[B]Thanks guys. I actually have two young kids and did most of the work after they went to bed. I usually would get started around 7pm and go as late as I dared. Our day starts at 5:30 am so there were some rough mornings.

OK, now I feel lazy. I have a 1 and a 4 year old and feel I don't have engough time to sit on the pot and you restore your car!! Very motivating, going to work on the car now.

It's always heartbreaking hearing about another 911 totaled. Even better is hearing about another brought back! Fantastic.

I like this picture a lot.

Kid's toy in the driveway, potted plant in the background and beer bottle on the welder. Shows that these projects don't happen in isolation.

Kudos on the hard work and congrats on the great results!
