Default Hello And thanks for the help S2KI

Whats up forum, my name is Don Milton and I just want to show my appreciation and introduce myself. I have been in a search for a early AP2 for my girl sense the end of last year. A few months ago she started a profile here which I used to explore the wealth of knowledge present on this site. I even occasionally posted to gain feedback and reassurance on prospects. Her profiles name is Spamda and here is one of my old thread topics I started in her nameShe's been Using Regular Unleaded!?. In that thread I was trying to gage what members thought about a S that we were looking at but ended up passing on due to price. Well the search is finally over and we are now legitimate owners of our own AP2 and yes, I have pics.





Her name is Ichiban. She has 38 thousand highway miles and looks fresh off the showroom floor except for a few paint blemishes from rocks thrown off the back of tractor trailers. She is all original (sadly even the radio ) and has all her service paperwork from when she first rolled off the lot. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks! Here is an old shot of that car (since I'm in a pic horeing mood ).



BTW are there any active members in the Florida panhandle area? I'd like to meet some members in my area who've had their car for awhile and so I can see who dose their maintenance, tuning, etc.

I can't get over how that red paint looks in the pics you took. It almost looks like clear red over metallic.

I used a custom preset in lightroom. It was a little heavy handed imo but the car is the stock NFR color.

Well it looks great! I have always avoided red in California because it always seems to oxidize first of all the colors in time. Nice going.
