I realized after chattin it up with inlinesix123, I didn't really update this thread with what is going on with the car. I dropped off the car at a fairly local collision and restoration shop this past Monday (2/26/24).
They are going to be tackling the CF roof install, installing CSL trunk, and respraying the exterior. There are other details that are being taken care of such as quarter panel trim, a-to-c trim, gas filler rubber, and a bunch more to try and restore the car as much as possible.
I decided to leave the roof with the varnished look, paint the roof rails gloss black, and everything else a refresh in Silver Grey. They told me that their estimate is right around 4-6 weeks for completion which I am completely fine with. The car should be completely transformed...once I receive the car, I'll probably look into installing the Karb intake...not really looking forward to it.
I actually would rather look in to getting the BBK's on the car...while the car is in the shop, I'll look into getting the headliner reupholstered in alcantara more than likely, and getting the calipers paint-matched. Outside of that, my future goals are to get a rebuilt diff from diffsonline, and to get some heated seats in the car. Maybe some new wheels in the future as well...even though I like the TA5R's, I really want some Bronze lightweight forged ones. Probably won't provide any meaningful updates for a while...until then, good luck with your rides.
