I'm also thinking about selling the black style 5's and doing another set in Prima Donna.
Jess, what's Prima Donna?

Pulled my engine the other day. There is a hole in the side of the block that's not supposed to be there.

Did a little touching up of my sagging headliner trying to forestall replacing it. Staples work pretty well if you don't get sloppy and use too many. Headliner glue works only for small areas. I had good luck using flat grey primer in a rattle can in small amounts where bits of the headliner itself were exposed.

Avusblau?? That looks so fresh. Well done, well done indeed. I'm just waiting for my paint to arrive. Then I'm on it too!

The lighting in the pic is a bit funny. It's Boston Green.

Started installing the mirrors tonight. Got most of it done. Had to take off the interior trim cause the new screws use an allen key. Noticed a few clips on the trim had come off. Had to reglue about 7 in total. Should be dry tomorrow and with a bit more light, I'll see if the trim needs replacing again.

Once trim is back on, plan is to figure out how to installed the side skirts.

Will see if I can take some pics after that

Boston Green Oh well, must be the lighting. It looks blue-ish. I just put an order thru for m3 mirrors. Site says they come primed so I hope I don't have to sand much. Side skirts are not a big deal. They just "click" in. Well, at least mine do. I had them painted this summer and replaced the black rubber thingy that runs along them as well.

Yes, please post some pics I wanna see the mirrors.

Making progress, doing all the things I have read you guys telling people as I get ready to put this motor in. Plastic water pipes, oil filter gasket and o ring, new thermostat, motor mounts. Beware though, anyone who buys a duralast clutch kit from autozone the parts are nice quality but the pilot bearing is the wrong size. I fought with trying to put the motor on for over an hour before gave up and pulled the clutch off. Put an old pilot on top of the one from the kit and the new one has quite a bit smaller inner diameter.
