Re: Musings and idle ponderings...

Gok Wan and the ass slapping :lol: On a serious note, I think we are all agreeing to a certain extent.. we dont really have a place to turn regarding parts and I am in no way implying a dis-service to anybody restoring a car. Those (myself included) are being held at gunpoint by parts makers to acce...

Musings and idle ponderings...

This little rant/commentary purely stems from a conversation I had with a fellow porsche/classic car nut today and may raise the hackles of some.. but I kindof hope not. We came to the conclusion that if any of the cars being rebuildt today were to rally or be driven hard, then we dont think they wo...

Re: "1972 911 ST Rally Car"

Do yourself a favour and talk to Dave at DSD about it.. bit rough around the edges with some bodge work done by some big names. I looked at it up on a ramp and saw it more as a resto project than a turnkey race car..

Re: 1972 Wiring Harness

hmm.. so whats the catch?

considering I have been quoted 2000£+ for a wiring loom for my 71 coupe, then what am I missing when the two last links sell complete looms for 500€?

no price on Kroon as his is POA (damn, i hate that arrogant phrase..)

Re: Gauging interest: Reproduction Engine lids.

Sorry, not meant to offend.. the problem is that this is the regular price for the alu lids, the price is the normal one as the guy who makes these will not and wont drop them any further. I needed one for my ST project, so did ask and went thru two different sources who asked the same guy (unbeknow...
