Today (Oct 20) is my 911's 34th birthday! 43,884 miles.

This week she got new trim for the rear glass. The old trim had shrunk, causing the two metal trim pieces at the top and bottom to no longer hold the trim in place; this caused the old trim (which, apparently, is plastic bonded to aluminum) to delaminate.

The new OE trim I got from Pelican is all aluminum.

Pretty gnarly job, but we got it done (I re-installed the brake light later).

Wish we could get customized classic plates in Wisconsin, perfect match. Nice job on the rear glass, looking forward to following another garage build from you as well.

Tons of updates in that thread. Getting closer to being able to use the shop in anger for reals. Yesterday I got all the cars moved out of mini-storage for the last time! This weekend I move all my shit out of mini-storage. Lots of organizing and finish work left to do, but that's kinda the point of a space like this, no?

Here's what's left in storage to move:

Fleet update...

First, my new workshop (Gruntled HQ) in Durango is now no longer a project but a place where projects happen. Had an awesome party to celebrate. Travis even showed up in his 533.

In 1990 @ahab bought two Datsun Roadsters to restore into one. Last week I flew to PA and we exposed them to the environment for the first time in 23 years. They are now packed up and ready to be transported to Gruntled HQ where I'll do my best to make him proud. The project is named "Penny" and if you care, you can follow my build on www.3112.org here.
