  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Carpet, kick panels, sill plates installed. Front seat next. Rear seat and panels stay out until the top goes on.

    Got the front seat in today, so I took it for a spin and hosed off the dust from the last month of festivities.

    Still needs exhaust and AC charge.

    I'm not 100% about the top brand. I have the paperwork at home.

    Notice there's another one on eBay right now, a coupe, did you pick that one up for parts?

    Yes, but nothing was used on it. I was able to bring back pretty much all of the stuff on the convertible.
