Added a T/A hatch/wing to my Formie today. Also installed a cluster with a silver overlay and an edelbrock 3 point strut tower bar. Not a bad day for the Formie!

Today: Going to clean and protect the top (including seals) on my 98 WS6 Vert 28K miles that I purchased several weeks ago hopefully completing the detail portion.

Recent Projects since purchase:
1. full detail...
2. New front speakers and window motors
3. Custom Floor matts
4. O/F change, PS fluid, Antifreeze, Brake fluid

Still on the list
1. tranny fluid/filter
2. rear end/limited slip additive
3. new rear speakers

Hopefully I am good for a while; now all I need is to drive it !

Restored and remounted my WS6 emblem. I don't have a good before pic, but when I got the car the emblem was already really tarnished and dark. Also it was starting to peel off the car. So I marked the location with some masking tape and then peeled it all the way off today. Got all the old adhesive off the back. Then hit the front with a mild metal polish which to my surprise cleaned it up pretty well. Lastly I put some fresh 3M tape on the back and trimmed it to fit, and done:

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find your decal? I've been thinking about trying to find one I like.

I've always loved the way the magnaflow exhaust looked on the TA, not sure how I feel about the spoiler. Where did you get it?
