I must have been one of the last stops for UPS today. The parts finally arrived around 6:00 pm. By 8:30 my daughter had driven her car home, all bolts properly torqued, and the engine sounding 'good' with it's unmuffled resonator drone.

That was one of the best things about the parts car, it had both door panels already refurbished. It's impossible to find them in decent shape in the junk yards.

You should do some 'ghost flames' on the 911!

Lemons & Chumpcar look like a lot of fun. Someday...
As my daughter worked on her Bug, I started looking at an A4 that I got cheap at the same auction as the parts car. It may be repairable enough.
