Thanks! The POR aluminum exhaust paint baking off was enough to make me ill or elated, depending on how I tuhought about it. Ugh. That's why the car was started up *outside* after an initial trial and initial immersion into the stink that it created.

As for the stuff on the roof; it's an old clmbing rope I used to tow it around with my BMW(!!) It was in the trunk, but I had taken it out when fussing with the fuel return issue a while back. Also coated the spare tire well with POR-15.

And the wheels are Panasports, from K-speed. I don't know if Minilites are available anymore, but there is a company called Superlite that uses the same molds for their wheels, and are likely a better copy of the originals than the Panasports. But even the Panasports were still one of the biggest single costs of the whole project. They are 15x6.
