Looking great, Dave!

Is that a random orbital or a rotating polisher? Hard to tell from the picture.

I am hoping that our 924S comes out something like that, after all of the racecar bits are added (like an engine and transaxle).

Keith, it's a rotating polisher, picked it up at O'reilly's.

Roll cage installed, kept the harness bar, it's higher for the shoulder harnesses for us tall guys. Have to get the side bars welded in some day.

No footage of looping in the snow? Sir, I am disappoint.

Great job on the paint recovery! Almost looks too good to take to the track!

Hey Stefan, no 'whipping shittys' in the snow, we don't have the room! And, if I take the car down our hill/driveway to do so, I won't be able to get it back up to the garage. However, 51 degrees today, so most of the snow is now gone. Nice. I'll post a few pics and a video though of Saturday's track-day fun!

Wife and I are sick of making pizzas! Trying to sell the place. Hey, 50 acre hobby farm, work 4.5 months a year, car lift, machine shed, blah, blah, blah!

Hooking up with Keith Jones and his 944 turbo, we're the only water pumpers outside of the newer 911 stuff. We'll show em!

Amazing, the change from last spring is unbelievable. Went from a faded pink to outstanding. See you Sunday.
