Nick has made me a good offer and fullylitled has a good offer I just have no desire to do all the baking etc to do the retrofit. Maybe we can get a package deal?

It took me about 3 hours on a sunday afternoon to do it and that was taking my time. I have bad night vision as a side effect of lasik surgery and it is the best mod I've done. My retrofit is as bright and properly beamed as my brother's factory LR3 setup. Not bad for less than $200 (i used a cheap DDM tuning hid setup/harness).

If you are going to send it off, Nick as done a bunch of them and works at the retrofitsource, so I'd lean towards him. I copied his thread to do mine.
You can see where I trimmed a little too much at the top to allow the shroud to fit, but you cant see it

there is enough space behind the glass to fit

I've never been asked about them other than from other LC drivers, so that is a win to me if everyone else, including police, think they are factory. I ditched that hood deflector thing since.

Went to the Barber Museum on whim Sunday. Pretty amazing collection. You could spend an entire day there admiring the design and engineering that went into a lot of the early machines. Great view of the track too. Saw the Porsche experience guys running laps.

Check out the fuel cell.

Even the safety wiring on the rotor bolts is pretty.

This one was made from several repurposed parts of other vehicles (leaf pack off a Ford truck)

I was close by yesterday! bored to tears! So bored in fact, that I was driving through bad neighborhoods! You know, the ones most of these guys attended college in! LOL!
 
i remember someone saying you can spend a fortune trying to make an 80 perfect, but they can run like s*** for ever.

Same thing just happened on the '94 I just bought. I briefly heard what I assume was the dead pad scraping the rotor then nothing for a few days (the noise stopped as I left the parts store!). I took off the wheel and only found one pad until I removed the rotor. Here's the carnage.
Changing pads, rotors and new parking brake junk today.

Any of y'all seen the film Samsara? It's a zero dialogue film shot on 70mm stock (imax stock) but at a different aspect ratio of 2.38:1.

Digital transfer was done in 8k, and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's art film, so may not be for everyone, but there's some seriously stunning cinematography in it.
 
Did some thighs last night.
They didn't turn out as awesome as Matt's, but they were still pretty good.
