    It's an AFR gauge which came with the wind band O2 sensor. Another of those " too good to pass up" deals.

    I assume you're asking about the red item in the top left corner is the tach adapter required by MSD for "foreign" igintion systems. The gauge is an Auto Meter air/fuel ratio.

    Heat will be nice in the shop Ian. Look forward to the work updates. Sounds like you and I have similar winter plans!

    Not much to add but we've come up with the beginnings of a plan to get things moving towards a happy ending.

    We're going to take any parts we need from this car...



    ... to get this car...



    roadworthy so this car...



    can go in the garage over the winter for some body work and a heart transplant.

    The white one will be the winter driver this year while the work gets done on the red one. Once the B6T car is done the white car will become the daily driver for the younger kids, whom some of you met at FMV.

    I'm in the process of cleaning up the garage, wiring up the 220V ceiling mounted heater and new-to-me mig welder, and generally organizing things.

    So that's a rattle can paint job? Wow I would have never thought. It looks really good.

I haven't been out to the garage yet today so who knows if it's still as shiny I'm hoping to get this installed tonight in time for Westiva.
