Thanks for sharing the build thread and nice to connect on the FB group. Thank you also for sharing the supplier of the leather. Sticking to your guns on the color combo is the way to go. It is your car and a representation of what you like for you to enjoy. I look forward to following the progress!

It’s a pleasure to help, as far as color some people fear it My wife and I embrace it I’ll add a picture of a house we built 23 years ago.

Making steady slow progress, picked up rear seats from upholstery shop, with the promise of front seats and door cards next Friday…heater installed, a/c in & out twice one more time should do…professional mechanic worked last night and has dash wiring mostly back together/ sorted out, with any luck instruments in and start next week.

party set up here to install front and rear windows April 15,

Looking fabulous! I really, really appreciate your process of reassembly. Doing things you can do yourself while readily calling in the professional mechanic when needed is a nice combination.

Another big day, spent almost the whole day installing the A/C blower unit and face plate…

My wife and a friends 19 year old son helped me install the hood at the end of the day…

Having a few friends over the 15th to install front and rear windshields.

Big day got the coupe running for the first time, and I can’t figure out how to post a video, so here’s a picture you can see the fan blade moving…rear window film removed and letting rubber form to shape before installing on Saturday….I’m certainly happy and starting to concentrate on the interior

My favorite kind of car day today, with the help of my friends things happen…today Peter Coomaraswarmy (team lead), Ed Zinsmeyer and Greg Resa stopped by after bmw 2002 C&C this morning to help install the front and rear windshields in our coupe. With Peter leading the way they almost jumped in, almost that is…and hour are so apiece and they are installed.

a great time shared with friends today…
