Thank you
Just wanted to say thanks to all who participate in this forum. There is no way to put a $ value on all the knowledge and experience available here to owners of these wonderful cars.
I purchased my 1984 ruby red Carrera coupe about a two months ago and began searching the internet for some information on the car. When I stumbled upon the Pelican Parts site I was immediately hooked on the tech forums. With your help I have been able to diagnose a cryptic dash light problem (speedo light bulbs were in the wrong sockets so the parking light was always on) and a failing alternator (headlights were pulsing bright and dim). I have been wanting to post pictures of the car and introduce myself, but could not get photos to download properly until I found the solution in another thread on the forum. So, after some delay I say thanks to all and here are a few pictures of my ride. Gerry

Beautiful! Now we just need to find you a Carrera tail so people don't mistake your car for a Sorta-Carrera.

That wine tray on the back would be handy for wine tasting days out.
