Turtle's return following new owner.
Well guys, I have bought TURTLE and plan on restoring her to her prime and continue showing her. Nothing will be removed just added. Her name will not change, will stay Turtle as promised to Jennifer. She will go by #TURTLE #TPRWRE cause my license plates off Li'L-RED after Li'L-RED being stolen & trashed hard. Side window decals will stay as that's sixthsphere, STC history. So yes no fake louvers lol lol lol
My plan is to bring that history back and make new history with turtle. Going to do what I can chrome under the hood, fix paint, sunroof with CNC part so never worry about a broken sunroof again. I will be picking her up closer to the end of the month.
Hood prop was found and include with Turtle.

Um. where is that? I see maybe 6 red 3gen SC and a sl.
Glad to see you are sticking with the expression series. Turtle already looks great can't wait to see what you do with it.
Sorry to hear about little red though. Time for some anti theft devices in turtle.

I feared it so much! Only way I could ever think about it, is if was hit in the rear. Save my amr radiator, CF hood and such but nope had to be the front end. Destroying the hood & radiator
Think I was hurt the worst over the hood

Next is more work to the engine bay.
She throws oil out the tail pipe so know nos has taken a little toll on motor.
I got the rebuilt motor from Li'l-Red with 35k & trans & finzanna LWF build of maybe 4k miles. Most likely will start a motor and trans 3gen/2gen deebs build soon to have one ready.
Exhaust needs updated, way to loud and ricey, front glass needs resurfaced, bad wiper blade scratches.
