The wrapped door sat in my basement for a long time, waiting for me to pull the trigger on replacing the fixed quarter / vent windows on my 911 with rotating vent windows. I finally got around to the project a couple of weeks ago: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/982062-gordos-targa-vent-window-swap-fixed-rotating.html, which allowed me to install my old fixed vent window onto the wrapped door / wall art.

I've been way overdue getting this hung.







I probably spent 2 hours in the garage this evening doing nothing but sipping a home brew and admiring…

Side note: credit / shout out also goes out to the Pelican member who donated the door handle to my brother - solely based on an understanding of what it was intended for. Will update this post with a "thanks" once I hit up Cabmando for the Pelican's name.
Excellent addition! Looks great and located right where I'll get to view it frequently next time I'm out to visit!
