Great news Darren. I'm looking forward to seeing this one come together.
Best wishes, Richard.

Re: '65
Some templating and fabrication of repair panels for the RH inner wing: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1711988694318-VLQC5J17TH24SD1KDR8C/DF6809F2125048AE93A86568BD40AA2E.jpg?format=800w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/17...

Re: '65
Thanks all. It's not bad overall, and will be very nice when done. Just another cautionary tale that, when you get to the stage of really stripping a car, even reasonably decent ones need "a fair bit" of work. I figure the shell will be good for another 60 years (at least) after this visit...

RHF Inner Wing again. More unpleasantness here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1711455621623-EXYITRKGDDI3UR0Z88WN/9F750C6E2D984591BBCF33C5B8B3F0EB.jpg?format=800w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1711455621831-CBIPA9906H51...

Re: '65
The RH front inner wing, including the strut area, was a fair bit worse than the LH: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1711317016343-ZFLKZCWT8AR2XFDSEPB6/72518FA5088C47A7B63CFB410FE1BF51.jpg?format=800w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e9...

Fabricated repair panel going in. Top caps will go on later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1711315137814-K0IOVXQ0F13YAIRLRZY5/BFA5BB79A6354E83A94252A13767563A.jpg?format=800w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1711315139107...

Re: '65
Thanks jp! I'm looking forward to seeing it again soon. From the email updates, it certainly seems to be getting there.
"Easy" job after your XK! (by easy I mean well-practised and standard for Barry, not a new puzzle to be solved at every turn).
Hope the Jag is looking good!

Re: 944 Service Independent - Kent / South London
+1 for Lee at Octane for modern(ish) stuff. He looks after my 993 and 928. One of the (very) good guys.

Re: '65
I think new pre-65 turrets are available from Porsche. :) https://www.design911shop.com/p/porsche-911-shock-absorber-strut-mount-for-wheel-housing/?currency=GBP&country=GB&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrojq-_GAhQMVPJJQBh2JCQ8WEAQYAiABEgLytvD_BwE Thanks Ian. That would have been pretty ...

Re: '65
Work continues apace with Barry. Both of the front strut turrets had suffered from corrosion and previous repairs. Here are the "before" pics of the LH side... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c0f610d482e969f2bf11d6/1710826686649-J3IEZYWU33AX0E7FT0IV/3C20B6FB0D0643D3A0F4F6FB...

Re: 1971 Burgundy 911T
Excellent. Thanks for sharing, Andy. Looks like a very nice car and a good opportunity to tidy and improve. I'm sure it will be even more lovely when you've finished with it.
