Guys, thanks ever so much for your comforting notes. You are one hell of a bunch.
Sorry I was away for sometime and that is why I am responding a bit late. Let me see if I can cover all the needed comments.
Challenger6pakThanks for the address. I have written now and am waiting for a reply.
CHALLENGED BOB I know exactly what you mean about screetching brakes. I have often had to slam MY brakes on in order to avoid the adjourning driver's drift towards me whilst watching my car and loosing all sense of direction:grinyes:
On your white R/T with White stripes??? Were they visible? I too have an untouched white R/T but had wrong stripes added to it by the previous owner, which will be corrected when the time comes. As for the interior, see photo of mine. Are we talking about the same thing?
Yes please do keep me in mind for the chrome. As for the tail light reflector, I might find you one over here, but want to make sure I understand what you need. Can you post a photo please?
BIGSHCLUNK On the 50% rebate this only applies to classic cars 25 years and above and seems to be a general policy. Now you can also get a better coverage but the premium goes sky high, and still will not cover 100%. However, with the right connection at the insurance administration, anything can happen!!!

chryco Well I did debate the color for ages and finally decided on Plum crazy for the following reasons:
a- I have a white R/T as per fender tag and build sheet, so this settles the white color.
b- The convertible has no fender tag nor build sheet, only VIN so I decided to change it all.
c- My better half prefers non white
d- No plum crazy in this part of the world
e- Any other darkish color shows a better shine than white.
bb71challenger This is what happened. I heard screetching brakes, looked into the rearview mirror and saw this BMW sliding sdeways right into my rear. I slammed my foot on the gas and avoided him but had to stop again as there was much traffic. He swung past my rear, over-corrected his swing, by then he was on the other side of the road, tires still screetching, and charged back at me. His front hit the fender, but by now was at an angle trying to correct away from me, bounced off me and swung away and his rear hit my door !!
moparmanic59 The car is an export to Lebanon, was purchased from the dealer here, changed hands about 3 times and ended up with me.
hemiken Very rightly so, no red in that year. The last owner who had this car had no idea what so ever about classics. He replaced the original seats with "Recaro" red seats, covered/painted the rest of the interior with red, removed the original manual gear off another chally which he had and replaced it with an automatic one. I had to bring all the original componets back and now will hopefully make the car more "correct". I do admit though that the red/white looks awesome, and had it been correct for that year, I wouyold have been tempted to keep it.
All the other comments from you good guys are highly appreciated, and look forward to all your comments on the work being done,
Cheers, Farouk
