Re: hello and another new project

Having just read the entirety of your 'Eve' Barn Find thread Mike I now know what a knee bar is, and will drop it at the next opportunity. I may need some help de-coding the number though. I've also been thinking of posting on here again to get some advice from you chaps, so I guess now is as good t...

Re: LED headlights - now cost effective option.

Very tempting conversion at that price.
If any of you chaps who go for it would like to re-claim some of the cost and sell me your RHD H4 reflectors which you no longer need, I'm in the market for a good pair.

Re: hello and another new project

At this stage I have not found anything that indicates a re-shell, the chassis number has not been tampered with as far as I can tell, and you can see where the mods have been done. It's definately not an SC shell, but there must have been a donor car for all the parts, possibly an accident damaged ...

Re: hello and another new project

Is there any other way to find out what paint code a car originally was other than the plate by the door hinges (which is missing) or a COA?

Re: hello and another new project

Thanks for the info, wow I didn't realise 69 was such a unique year, I guess it's in part due to it being the first LWB model year.
Hot rod it is then, to be honest that's what I wanted to do anyway.
MOT booked for saturday, so we'll see how we go.

hello and another new project

Hi, I've been reading the forum for a few months while researching buying my 911, but now it's time to start posting some questions, I have lots! First off here's what I have bought. It's a 1969 LHD car which I found advertised in Belgium. At some stage it was converted to impact bumbers, whale tail...
