Just thought I would share the progress on our 544 restoration. I purchased the car in 12/2010. I'm looking for any input on issues I have overlooked thusfar, or any constructive criticism.

This is the first 544 I have torn down this far. My planned progression is:

-Complete brakes
-Complete pedal assys.
-Replace body panels
-Have paint rubbed out
-Install door seals/hardware
-Install fuel system
-Install electrical
-Install dash and interior (with new pad)
-Install engine and drivetrain
-Install chrome/brightwork
-Install bumpers
-Install headliner
-Install windshield
-Take to alignment and exhaust shops

I'm not sure the exact order of dashpad/windshield/headliner, recommendations??

Also, I'm looking for a pair of straight bumpers if anyone has some.

I cant say enough great things about the brickboard, its a real lifesaver.

Thanks again,
Mike in Portland.
