I started the process today. Here are a few things I did today:

1) 2 coats of Ragg Topp
2) Wiped off the wheels- got kinda dusty on the bottoms, even w/the car cover
3) RejeX'd front wheels

Maybe tomorrow I put some Z2 on or try the #425 PerfectLap convinced me to purchase. I hope to be driving in about 1-2 weeks.

I just installed the GT3 bumper and side skirts. Even with the wheels off of the car, I really like the look of this mod! I thought I'd have trouble putting everything on without help (another pair of hands), but it went very smooth.

RaggTopp and Collinite #915 are next.

When I get her off the jacks, I'll take some pics. My goal is to have the seal grey version of the TriGem Box.

These cars were made by Germans to be driven by Germans in German winters ... (They are also happy to sell some of us slobs a car or two as well) Mine grunts and groans in the cold but I think it likes it! The cold, cold air certainly gives a little boost to my acceleration.

Moral of the story: never winterize, just drive it.

When people ask me if I drive my car in the winter, I reply, "They have snow in the Fatherland".

I dewinterize mine every few days when it warms up enough to wash off the salt from the last snow/ice storm

I have about another month to go before I'll bring Sally out. I'm waiting for a nice hard rain or two to get rid of all the salt.
