Tonight, I fooled around, and blacked out the trim.

I'll get better pictures in the morning.

Definitely changes the look.








I think it's going to look good. Time will tell.

Til then...

Yeah, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some better seats.

I tried swapping the old racing seats from the other car, but it would take an act of God to make those things fit.

Thinking maybe about picking up some 944 seats, and doing some other stuff down the line.






Some outside pictures. Blacked out trim with new air dam.

I took the earlier part of today and did some fuel system refresh.

New filter.



New hoses.



New fuel rail. Courtesy of the 240 build, which it no longer needs due to different style injectors.



Better condition injectors.


Old fuel rail out.

New fuel rail in. With some slight rerouting of lines, and the fuel pressure regulator.

You and me both brother....

You ask, and you shall receive. Haha.

Funny you would mention that today.

This is what I was up to.

With the corrected alignment I decided to mount the 240s wheels and tires. Seems appropriate since they will most definitely be sitting another winter, so I might as well use them in the meantime.

Other than monster truck status, which I will live with, it looks AWESOME.

The car drives beautifully. What a transformation. What a wonderful temporary solution.
