Needless to say that looks awesome! Man I'd just like to snag a hardtop. Congrats, it's got to feel good to have it back.

I don't have any topless photos yet. That will take some time... a couple months perhaps (and a few glasses of wine)?

The shop I used is called GTI (German Technology Inc.). It is a great place to take a Porsche in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area! I will probably do a whole post later on how and why they rock.

I just got the paperwork today. I'm gonna have to figure out the conversion costs. Because it was an accident, there were some things paid for by insurance, some things not, and some things partially paid for by insurance. Here's what I do know. My total bill was a tad over $9,000 (my deductible was less than my tax, nice). That in no way represents what it costs to do this conversion, for there are other repairs and costs mixed in with that price that would not be a factor in the conversion (i.e. wheels, tub, hood, etc.). There were a lot of little parts to get, so that contributed greatly to the cost as well. I'm pleased with the results and my expenses were about on target. Worth the wait I'd say.
