More of the work today...Installed the new spoiler!
Measure 10 times..Drill Once!...

They say that real men don't read instructions....This one does!...

...and it all lined up and the bolts went in on the first try....Gotta love Time and Patience!...They tend to pay huge dividends....


An Idea I had when I was looking for a name for her!....Last photo....

Default Her Trip Home.

Cleaning the windshield is a must....
Keeping one's mouth shut when not only driving this LeMans, but listening to the "Pypes" is hard to do....Not to mention playing with the Dual Gate Shifter.....2 much fun!!...
We brought her home today. She handles just as I anticipated! accelerates, steers, stops just as she should....She made me so happy!

Z4,
That looks rather familiar! Good luck with your build. There is a lot to be said for doing some of it yourself...Nice to be able to talk intelligently about it...
Keep up the great work....

I just thought I was done with the top and the trunk. Went over the top again and now it's ready for etch primer...
The trunklid, I discovered, has some rot above the bottom panel. It's not real bad, but bad enough I don't want it on my LeMans. I ordered a new replacement from Tamraz. This one will see eBay some time in the future along with all the "other" parts I no longer need....
Reinstalled the tank after painting the underside of the trunk floor. Put some gas in her and hit the starter.....Four turns of the key and.... Music to my ears!
