Picked up my car from the transporter and drove it for the first time in a few years (a buddy was car-sitting for me). I'm looking forward to driving it around the motherland and taking advantage of some open stretches of the autobahn.

Thanks for the compliment but since that pic I decided that I got a little carried away on all that red leather. Tore it all off and started over ��
Dialed it back a bunch.

No red with gloss polyurethane clear coat. Its actually clear for wood birdhouses. Just playing around but I like that idea.

Took her for a spin. It's starting to get chilly at night up here in the south east of Norway, but I still took the top off after this pic was taken.

Recharged the A/C. Luckily, that solved the lack of cold air from the vents. I am very glad that this seems to have done the trick but I won't hold my breath in case I have a slow leak. I'll keep an eye on it for a while...
Next mission: figure out what to use for front parking lights now that I had to disconnect the angel eyes from Fred's awesome projectors. My car won't pass inspection without some sort of front parking lights.

Painted the discolored plastic in the center inlet
Before:
After:
I also painted the red that was showing where the grills had clipped in on the sides. Looks more complete now. I didn't want to cut them out in case I put the grills back some day.

Saturday:
Added GT3 front brake deflectors
Gave it a rinse (and so did nature) 
Refilled the tank
Drove it!
That was the first time in 2 (or 3?) weeks I've had it out. I realized last night that, prior to Saturday, the last time I added gas was April 7!  And in the past year, I've only driven it about 2700 miles. Yeesh.

New Top
Upgraded to a new top. The old one leaked a little thought the seam on the plastic window. This new one is German A5 material with a rear glass window.
My only complaint is that it's beautiful out but I have to let it stretch for a few more days...
