I’m relieved to be able to tell you that after 10-12 years Porsche have rectified failing active engine mounts and I’m to have them at no cost. Otherwise this latest one would have cost £1810. I really love the car and so want to keep it, I’m nearly 78 and will soon probably be stopped from driving,...

Isn’t that a Restomod rather than a custom car or hotrod

Sadness on the misery of owning a car you love and that is totally and unacceptably unreliable. My first 987 was my neighbour’s and she drove it slowly, but at 55,000 until I sold it for a 718, it cost about 8,500 in repairs over about 10,000 miles. My 718 was ex dem with under 2000 miles and I took...

My son’s Five Window Coupe is almost ready bar the sign writing it had in the day. It’s an original restored rather than a new build and has all the best bits and is built to be as far as possible, identical to its magazine photos of the day. Steering geometry and spring rates have been altered to m...

Navy blue with natural coconut mat check and £100 for the 3

Sorry about that v

We’ve got some Cocomats from an LHD 356, they’re in good condition and can be bought for a reasonable offer plus carriage. PM me for details

Anyone have an LHD 356 that would benefit from second hand Cocomata. Two fronts and a cover for the gear lever tunnel. Fair price price carriage or collect. PM me if interested

Yes if it’s anywhere near Gloucestershire. I’m a bit marginalised over here.

any pics of the spring tool in action ? I’ll take a photo and once it finds its way to Flicker I’ll post it. You need a 15mm diameter steel bar about 6” long with a 300 mm Tommy bar in one end and a slot in the other to accommodate the end of the spring. Cut the slot shallow enough to hold the end ...

In the end we made a tool to wind up the centre of the spring and screwed the hinge to the work bench so it couldn’t move.

All back together with nice shiny and expensive chrome. Oil change done Mobil 1 10W60 and just have to adjust passenger side window to reduce wind noise.

I’m in trouble. My driver’s side seat hinge failed, completely worn out and cracked. I bought another in good order but needing rechroming from ever helpful Karman Konnection. I disassembled it and had it rechromed at vast expense and am now struggling to refit the very strong spring that returns th...

Late 912s had air silencers and better filters than the earlier Knecht.

I’d track some down and see if you can adapt them.

I agree on noise. 356s are very noisy, I’ve been meaning to do the same for mine.

Here’s the 1934 5 window coup low boy. It’s a genuine early fifties Hotrod that featured in the magazines of the day. It was one of the first to get a Hemi and so amongst the fastest. It’s being restored to original but built properly so that it’s safe. Most hot rods and customs are of the time we’r...
