We might be doing a fall run before everyone stores their car for the winter.

BTW-Nice ride!

Thanks Sabeo.m I just joined, it would be great to do a fall run. I'm also looking forward to meeting local P-car owners who could share tech tips as well (hopefully I won't need many).

Best Regards, Mike

Not that familiar with your car but I did see the for sale ad and saved a few pictures and the VIN for my collection and for Norbert's Turbo-Look.com Register.

That looks great in black, it's also the first one I've seen with the rear wiper. I see yours has the H4 headlamps, was that original since its a euro car?

I just installed the H4 Euro Headlights on my car two days ago....
Still trying to decide if I should get the red rings or leave it chrome.
My wife says red, I personally can't decide.

I would go red, or maybe even flat black on the rings...........

Nice Ride!

I am a bit biased! ;-)
