Really enjoy reading your's and rsmat's progress. Both of you are making me jealous and wanting another rs turbo.

Think my next car will be a 944 though....

It looks like it was wax oiled along time ago tbh. Can't fault the shell it is so solid everywhere removing the carpet was like winning the Lottery 😂 Has made the project so much easier 👍🏻
