    '96 "R2 Limited" build.

    So...early this year I decided to replace my supercharged NB with a vintage-style NA. I knew of (hell...everyone knew of) a very vintage white-over-red NA that was being parted out down in Florida. To make a long story short: through a series of conversations with the owner (Randy/Phatmiata) I cut a deal to pick it up. It had been 90% returned back to stock - but there were some goodies that I wanted included in the sale. So I had Randy put the red interior back in, the GV tail lights back on, and bolt the sexy hard top on.

    I flew down from Dallas to Tampa and drove it back.

    Saturday morning: near Tampa, FL.


    Sunday evening: near Dallas, TX.


    I had already accumulated a garage full of parts to put on the car. So I literally got to work the minute I pulled it into the driveway. The engine wasn't even cooled off before I pulled out the somewhat ratty, tan '95M seats and started breaking them down for the new, LE-Red skins I had.
