Windshield gasket and lockstrips, as well as a replacement dash, are in-process.
It's amazing how much a wee-little sub-1mm-chip in a windshield will reduce the strength of the glass. Yes, I happened to put my thumb directly under that spot while lifting the glass out, and popped a 12" crack.
So it's also getting a new windshield.
Working out materials with Kevin Chin for new seating surfaces.
Euro lights and grilles are en route.
A bunch of new rubber underneath, bushings, mounts, etc, and steering rack refresh. Have to place a big order with PartsDept this week, and get the car airborne once I get the dash swapped.
Oh right - and new RE760's mounted on the new wheels I got from PartsDept, and I'll sell the RS's.
This should all be done in time for driving season. Next winter will be used for chain guides and various motor-gasket-refresh.

Having a daily driver the ole list is looonnnnggg.
* Swap engine & trans (this year for sure ..lol..).
* Repaint.
* Change clutch master.
* Front end rebuild, control arms, etc..
* Finish reupholstering the back seat.
* Trunk seal.
* Dash.., before the cost doubles again.
* Fix the dam sun roof so it will close without having to stick my arm out the window to push the wind flap down.
* Maybe some BBS RS shoes..., kinda pricey though.
