Other winter projects done:

Replaced PS window motor
Replaced headlight switch
Installed iPod connector to back of CDR-220
De-Snorkel
Light exhaust mod

It's been so long since I drove the car, I couldn't really tell the difference with the de-snorkel & exhaust mods. The whole car just sounded incredible all day.

I know what you mean. Here in the Hudson Valley it has been dry for a number of days now so we took a nice ride yesterday. As you say, you realize how much fun the car is to drive and how much you missed it.

Your mods are tasteful and the car looks good. Now look forward to a full driving season with the return of the "Permagrin".

What do the radiator intake guards look like? Mesh? Will they be black or another color?

I know it's tough to see in the photo, but they are installed. They are black mesh, and at that angle, you can see through the mesh almost perfectly to the radiators.

I can vouch for that. Too much snow/ice left to melt and then there's the gravel
