Wow, just read through the build thread again. If there was ever a car that would make me want to get back into the P2R game it would be this one!

Well, the part you link is definitely designed for this application. However, I cannot attest to its fit or stability. It seems to me that it may have a likleyhood of damaging the trim strips, but I cannot be sure. Maybe post in the forum to get real world experience with it?

They're Volvo OEM -- have had 'em for many years now and use them to put my Thule on top. Every part that comes near paint is rubberized, it's very very stable, and does not scratch the paint. Would 100% buy a set if you don't have one and need them.

It’s a beautiful car and great job on the restoration.. I love the sonic over brown.

Unfortunately it’s not likely that a GT car with a salvage title will bring $22K. If it was an M66 possibly, or a clean title Atacama GT car, but not a salvage title GT car.

It’s beautiful and I really appreciate the attention to detail. Well done.

@Fmfosnacht Are you still driving this or did you end up selling? Been 5+ months and the eBay link no longer works, so thought I'd check.

Yes, the car did sell. It is now in New York.

Actually, I think I had too high of reserve on EBay that spooked buyers. After the failed auction I had multiple full price offers, and I sold to the first one. So the $22k price seems on target to most given what was done to the car.

 

[TheBestCow]

Well, rats, but congrats. I love a good story, and well-documented. That build is amazing.

Did Marty buy it?

Lol. Congrats Fred., nope but I wish I did.

@Fmfosnacht First off, that is an absolutely gorgeous build. Very well done! And second, where did you get the air box lid with the clear cover? I'd love to get something like that for my P3.

 

[ZZZZZZZ]

I think he made it.
A few members have done it and it looked relatively easily accomplished.

Gotcha. Is it just the stock airbox lid cut open and a piece of plexi-glass behind it?

Yes.
