    Taking my front fascia to the body shop. Hopefully I'll have the major external work completely done inside of a week or two.

    Spoiled Southeners. While there may not be much snow here right now, we'll never be able to avoid the salt in MN.

    Got to drive 1258 into the Virginia Beach Convention Center and put her on the red carpet in the "Car of the Century" competition. She's flanked by a '71 Chevy C-10 and a '91 Porsche 928. Set up the Explodaview poster and raised the doors. I think she's got a good chance. With the fascias freshly painted she almost looks brand new! I'm very excited to see the results of the contest on Sunday!

    Washed it and detailed the wheels. I had been taking a lot of crap from other owners for having silver wheels that were so filthy they looked like the grey ones.

    Never actually did a proper washing on it before. Happy to report that there are no leaks anywhere and it looks like a million bucks after a nice wipedown.

    Nope, never did... doesn't that make it shiny? I like the sort of matte finish...

    But yeah, I did the wheels for you. I'm jealous of yours but that's not excuse for mine to be so dirty
