I feel like we have spent most of the year playing with our wiper/sunroof motor problem. There just wasn't enough room for both. We didn't want to cut up the wiper kit only to still not be able to make it fit so we gave up and ordered a SPW kit then realized we would need to drill new holes anyway and we liked the New Port kit better. So we moved both holes one inch to the right, cut into the roof structure to fit the wiper motor, cut up the upper wiper linkage to clear the sunroof motor and welded up the first holes. Everything clears now except we still haven't gotten the sunroof to power. We have seen the gear turn out of the car so we know it will work it's all just being difficult. I blame the German wiring. We have done some other things here and there, but nothing that shows progress. We're hoping to wrap some things up for the winter. Then put in the insulation, window channels, windows, etc, etc. before getting it inspected this spring and driving it for a while before tearing it down for interior and paint. We aren't in a rush for interior and paint..maybe not even next year. I would rather just enjoy it for a while.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
