Here's some recent photos:
   Only four steps remain: 1. Drive to the trimmer's shop to have the interior installed. 2. Drive to bodyshop for final cut and polish of the paint. 3. Install the orange Porsche crest on the hood and silver P_O_R_S_C_H_E and 9_1_2 on the engine lid! 4. Drink lots of Guinness! |
