my non-Porsche picture of the day

11/10 for that one. Such style from years gone by. Wonder if the 'modern crop' of super special cars will be seen in the same way when we are all electric or whatever happens? The Zagato Ferrari in this month's Octane is at a similar plane. Bit like this Bertone Jet based on a DB4GT. Always loved i...

Best of luck

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Well no one seems to be interested any more (thanks Gary). I suppose things change and people aren’t so interested in this stuff any more - we’re all more used to watching videos.

Sounds like a slog! I guess with all the myriad of variations of the 911 heating system it was always going to be a challenging.
Bit like getting the wipers in and out, seemingly impossible unless you take the completely non instinctive route!

Re: My '72 911T

Over enthusiastic use of salt by our local council stopped play in November, I wouldn’t normally be put off driving but after the hours I’ve got in the bodyshell of this thing I’m going to look after it a bit better this time.
