Any thoughts on the slim NRG quick release hub?
NRG Innovations Thin Version Quick Release Kit
I like that it doesn't add too much length to the steering column. I have long arms(+3 ape index) so I don't want it up in my chest too much.

Nice, didn't known he got one for the Porsche. My Momo wheel is pretty tired, leather is pretty worn out. Thinking of stripping it then sending it to you to wrap in catzskins bar tape, I don't trust myself to wrap it and rather leave it to a pro like you brother. Figured it was cheaper and would last forever that way.

You and I both know brother that is impossible for me to do. I cant ignore ****!
Which is a segue into my next update....
Totally dismantled the totaled car and scavenged every bolt/clip/grommet I could off it just in case. Have it sitting outside waiting to be picked up by the salvage folks.
While I have the wiring harness out that I am going to put into the 1990, I decided, why not delete some wiring! If only it is that easy right?
So far I have deleted AC, radio, rear defrost, rear antenna, seatbelt/seat/airbags, speaker and power windows.
I could probably go further but I am not to motivated to do so. I didn't take too many pictures since I was so busy I totally forgot about my camera.
Small pile of yanked wires and AC compressor.
The start of the dewire.
Since I have OCD, when I pulled the frame rails to transfer to the new car, I noticed that the P.O. filled the hole with sealant(I'd do the same) but it gummed up all the bolts and nuts and washers. Since it felt wrong to put nasty bolts onto a fresh undercoat I broke out my Tap and Die set and cleaned all the threads and fixed some threads that had deformed.
I was so into my work I didn't even notice a friend take this picture. I was in the get-****-done zone. IF you are wondering what I'm sitting in it is called a crazy creek chair. 2 pads held together with webbing. Makes sitting on the floor feel like you are in a recliner.
Also my parts for my transmission speedo gears came in on Saturday. It'll be nice having the right speed read out on the 3.63 R&P.
That was a long weekend.

Nice updates! I lol'd at the ape index thing, I've got that too. My armspan is 6" longer than I am tall. You said you are a +3, how the **** do you measure the rating? It's always interested me.

Nice! Wiring scares me.
Been mostly waiting on the body shop to pick up the car. They came 3 hours later than they said they would..Hopefully it will be color code 448 in a week!

Little gasket/seal replacement tonight.
Rear transmission gasket
Pilot bearing(I think it is perfectly level???)
Throwout bearing
Pressure plate looks a little worn.
Assembled the speedo gear and installed
can anyone tell me where the hell this came from?
Also did the valve cover gasket and intake manifold gasket.
