Bob,
No trouble at all! Not after seeing what you did for your car. This must be what they call "labor of love". I must have used too much logic to make all the numbers add up. Thanks for showing me the way.

While some of the "features" of the e9 are unfortunate (like the Karmann body fabrication and its inherent corrosion problems), the car is basically a dead reliable piece of machinery not unlike more modern M30 engined cars.

Attached is the shot of my '72 3.0CS following 100+ hours of disassembly and prepping for its new (original) Alpenweis color. Now I can begin reassembly! BTW, that's plastic where the windshield belongs/I pulled the glass to paint the car and haven't replaced it yet. The hood/Trunk/Doors were removed and painted separately, but were replaced for the external painting.

Just curious what you are referring to as troublesome.

Bob
