So, post-Irma I didn't have power for a few days but no serious damage occurred in my neighborhood. I straightened out the left fender with a hammer and dolly to the best of my ability and ordered a new headlight from Closed Course Motorsport. I also ordered a Prototipo wheel as I found someone willing to buy the original wheel as well as a WEVO shifter. The shifter, along with the PSJ made a world of a difference in shifting the 915, much crisper and more precise.



I had the intention to repaint the car and start a restoration at some point. The fender with no paint was starting rust after a few weeks and was still somewhat crooked and the bumper was still sagging. Finally, around November the power window gave out and I had to disassemble the door as well to figure out what was going on. It was raining pretty frequently and I couldn't drive with the window down. I decided to start to stripping the car down and start ordering parts little by little. Ordered a used decklid off eBay without the wing mounting as well as a RUF style front bumper and iroc rear bumper from getty design.



Test fitting the RUF front bumper as well as experimenting with black headlight housings. The Getty designs parts fit incredibly well. The rear might need a little surgery though but nothing too bad.




Two weeks ago finished taking the car apart. Pulled the engine/trans, full interior, full electrical harness etc. Only left the suspension in place to be able to roll it around.
