Nope. I just liked that raw shape.
This is how he sits right now…starting on new suspension, brake system, fuel system. He's what, 40+ years old with original systems…it's time to rebuild some things. Rebuilt calipers, new rotors, all hoses, master cylinder. Newer LSD rear axle assembly. Bushings and control arms. New fuel lines, rebuild the Webers, maybe drop the tank and clean it. Looks like the rear main seal is dumping on the floor - maybe I should do the clutch if I have to take that apart. The top has faded from black to some sort of grey. The list gets longer, and I spend way more time on my son's E30!
It was painted a couple of years ago after someone tapped the trunk lid with a pickup. I had the rust taken out while we were doing it - new rear arches, rocker panels, rear lower quarters. They are not a restoration shop, but did a good job. They repaired the folded trunk lid as none are available anywhere - I was impressed. Someone in their shop bumped into the nose so they had to fix that, and we ended up painting the whole car for not much money.
I've seen your avatar a few times. I race Lasers (not well). Do you know George at West Coast Sailing? Good guy, good shop.
