I'm not bemoaning the process or the continual tinkering as a project nears its "framing" date. I just went through this process backdating a 1975 911 to a 1970 look but with 3.0/PMOs and other goodies.
I wrote checks to have this done and it took us a good 18 to 24 months to work out the gremlins after it was "finished'. I live in NE Ohio so the driving season is short.
FWIW, I wish I had removed the sunroof. It rattles, sometimes. Just slightly. Between me and my fleet of mechanics, lol, we have more than 40 hours in "quieting" the sunroof. To stop the rattle I open it about a 1/4 inch, just enough to let air in and then open the rear quarter windowes. Tada, lots of cool air and no sunroof rattle.
Congrats on all the hard work and for taking that swan dive into the MFI.

Thanks for that!!
I really like the framing analogy.... it really does fit.
I was really fortunate to find a first year SC with bright trim, crank windows and no sunroof for this project - could not have been a better starting point really.
This is the first 911 I've driven with the opening 1/4 windows - they were a lot of work to fit (damn seals that kinda,sorta, but not really, fit) and I really don't miss having a sunroof.
I feel like I'm getting close with the MFI but need to stop spending all my time on that and get the car on the fuchs!
