        Congratulations!
        This is a great site for builds/restorations ,tech/how to and much more. Here you can build your car the way you want... from stock restoration to highly modified. I still have plenty to learn about these cars and reading through the forums have helped a lot. Once I get started on my project I will be sure to share.
        Thanks again Justin!

          Hey Thanks Frank! I have enjoyed your photos and posts so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with your coupe. Your Volks-rod is probably a good indication of what's to come; can't wait. Thanks again! Justin

I especially want to extend my gratitude and humble appreciation to a very generous, knowledgeable and extremely talented group of guys who post here. You're the ones that keep it interesting and educational and I am so honored to have you all here!

                  Justin, Thank you for all the effort that you have put in this site.
                  I always get an answer to my questions. I am lucky to be working on a T-1 with
                  you looking over my shoulder. Thanks again, Gordon

                    Mr.Rio:

                    Allow me to add my congratulations and offer my best wishes for the year ahead.

                    But face it; you run a great site that has succeeded on its own merits with the help of a strong and good will, which will, I have no doubt, continue to serve going forward.

                    Nice work, Sir, and thanks again for running the kind of joint that welcomes the odd looney or two like myself.

                    Good on ya.
                    ----------

                      Justin,

                      I think you get the idea from what everyone above has said about abcgt. In my opinion its the best site in the world for anyone who is mad enough to start a restoration on a 356 that 30 years ago would have been crushed for scrap. The work carried out and the explanation on how to it is invaluable. The mistakes you can make trying to repair, can frustrate years after when if only, this site of yours had existed then.

                      If all the tips, all the experience, all the photo's were in a book it would be a massive tome but, would be like a 356 Bible

                      You deserve a medal from Porsche for your effort in helping people to overcome their efforts in rust control years ago.

                      Thank you again and all the those that contribute to make my days of retirement so interesting

                                Justin,
                                May I say that the success of your site has also been due to a more comfortable growth in terms of the 'feel' it has. I sense a feeling of being all together (even though you have been the real workhorse, spending your own money...which speaks volumes!) and there is a feeling of equality, regardless of time-in-grade. (A military term meaning you get promoted for hangin' around and not getting in too much trouble.)
                                My only regret is that I cannot spend as much time reading and learning as I'd like to. I hate to admit that there are some threads here I have not read yet. I also feel I often use too many words, but I AM seeking therapy......
                                You have been a consummate gentleman and gracious host. May it all continue to get better......for a long, long time.

                                -Bruce
