having this car on the road has been a game changer! I've taken my wife and friends (one at a time of course) on some epic local to LA roadtrips and have been getting tons of thumbs ups from other p-car owners and car enthusiasts alike.
I've only taken it to one show, and had a blast. Lately just been spending time upgrading things as directing projects are about to pick back up.
Quick impromptu pitstop in Venice for a street fair.
New 8"
Pyle subwoofer installed, along with the Blaupunkt SqR 46. This subwoofer is amazing! I paired it with new Polk Audio speakers on the shelf and am still running the 5.25" door speakers that came with the car.
Had a little help from our older great dane Atlas, she approved the upgrades.
After celebrating 12months of ownership (basically building) on Saturday I finally had time to clean and organize the garage, starting with some new wall art.
Now time to get the car prepped for a wrap, decided I don't want to have a car I've worked this long for go down for 2-3 months to get a respray. I'll be showing the color next week, but for now I've been spending time wetsanding the primered spots and taking the car apart... the front bumper was a lot more work than I saw on the few decent videos I could find online... may just be an 87+ thing.
All exciting things to come.
Final Parts on the way:
- Fabspeed Supercup Exhaust
- Lakewell new dash (black vinyl)
With the wrap and these above parts I am calling my phase one vision complete.
Toying with the idea of having a monthly BBQ at our house in SilverLake to meet more of the local 911 owners and build a stronger community in the area. I see at least 1-2 a day, albeit that Sublime is right around the corner.... if any actually reads this far down, shoot me a DM or give a shout on my IG car account : @almostordinary_motors would love to get a group of folks together to hang outside of the normal spots.
