Liz, I sent you a pm about the RD2 HVAC knobs. Never heard back

About the Orange feel, the previous owner seems to have sprayed the car white with a garden hose. Some sprinkles got on the rubber lining and that makes the orange peel seem worse than it actually is.

There is some though. Like Tibbychick said, not bad for $1600

Thanks. Actually, it was REALLY hard making the guys at MAACO put some effort into this one. I had to manage them extensively, despite resistance (Im a Project Manager by profession). Then, I negotiated the price down by a few hundred. Then, I checked in at every step of the process in person and stopped them when something wasn't right. All this from someone who didn't know didly squat about bodywork a month ago.

Thanks. It feels good to go from "Eeewwwww" to "Ooooohhh" so soon. But I owe nearly everything to this forum and it's members and their experience. People like Redz, Mad Machine, the mods and the rest of you clowns help keep me motivated. Credit and Kudos to RDtiburon.com

Nope! That's it for now.

Just a bit more to be done to the car before I take good pics with a good camera. Maybe even try for COTM?
