Rear suspension; window cranks

[David Pertuz]

Oh, I forgot about that - thanks. I may wait until summer to do the
suspension (the lumber rumble annoys me, but I can live with it, and the
car still feels great on stock springs and AGXes) but I'm going to Kroil
the hell out of everything and approach it with patience, an electric
impact and a big cheater bar.

PS Tim, are you going to the Mitty? I may be in Atlanta that weekend and
while flying is more likely, I'd rather drive if I can make the time. I'd
be in either the 911 or the SPG.
