Not so newbie asking forgiveness

Hi guys,
I've been lurking, following the PP forums for along time now and never realized the unwritten rule that I was supposed to introduce myself and my car. Hopefully I will be forgiven (tis the season, right?)

Anyway, I bought my car 3 years ago, completely stock 83SC Cab. . Then this forum and Wayne's 101 book got a hold of me and now three years later this is what I've got:

The information I've read and used from this forum has been priceless, from valve adjust, CIS adjusting, tune-up, and lots of suspension work all thanks to you guys. Next on the list- Corbeau seats and 5 point harnesses.
Thanks again fellow Pelicanites

mjshira,
Ended up donating thru Marks account, Kurt's was frozen. Thought I was doing something wrong since I had never used the paypal thing before but I read some other posts and saw others with the same problem.
72fourdoor, Zef, thanks for the compliments. The best thing about a Porsche is they're all unique and I haven't seen one yet I didn't like.

the front bumper below makes the car look much more agressive. Look like you still can be able to use your rear seats with that roll bar. Do you have any detail pics of it installed on the car?
Thanks.

rnln,
The back seats are no longer there. I got the roll bar from IO Port. It has the diagonal support as well at the crossbar for harness attachments. Definately a no no to allow a passenger in the back with a roll bar. I put the different front end on when i put the tail on, all on the board here recommend both together so as to equalize the down forces. I also wanted to put a front cooler in there cuz temps were getting pretty hot during autocross runs, but I found that having the air conditioning removed and the new tail helped get temps way down so the cooler hasn't made it in there yet.
