My first time doing anything like this. I have done LOTS of DIY car repair in the past on my B5 Audi S4 and E36 BMW M3. It took about 9 hours of actual work time, I only had an assistant for about 2 of those hours. If I were to do it again I would have ordered replacement window guides for the top, its about 20-40 bucks in parts, would have made life MUCH easier. I would say with those parts and my experience I could do it again in 5 hours.

The wheels are the Porsche Sport Classic IIs. They were on the car when I bought it. It's an option code on the car so they came straight from the factory. The center caps have seen better days. I think I may replace them with the black/silver crest caps one of these days.
