Just been looking at your restoration thread http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=102312

and considering how far you've got I'd be starting to imagine the first drive already :P

Bootsy thanks for that , I am so crap a being patient with uploading to photobucket then onto here. I only seem to be able to send one pictrure at a time to photobucket.

Thanks for the kind comments on my car. I know it wont be to everyones taste but I just love race cars. I am very self critical by nature and the very close up shots of the intakes etc just show up the bits I'm not perfectly happy with . However it is not being detailed yet just assembled ( Like an airfix kit :lol: )

Things are looking up at least on the car front Clive my painter is coming over this week to polish it so I can spend some of Chrimbo putting on the decals which is very satisfying.

Damnn... Thats one hell of a fine car buddy. I wish I had the patience to build my car with that much detail.

Thats inspirational, well done.

Stunning....it's going to be superb.... Making me wonder whether to go for a 911R instead of the 'usual' RS/ RSR for my next dream Porsche...

911r homage

Post by haasad »

Thanks for the kind comments guy's. Feeling others appreciated and understood the effort it takes a normal income family guy to build this type of thing while dealing with all the other stuff life throws at us has been a real lift.

Tonite I was motivated enough to fabricate the front screen retainer clips ( it is a race inspired car) ready to send them for anodising.

I really suppose this thread should move to the resto sectio or I'll be in trouble with da management :oops:

The other andy kindly said he would help me post some further snaps as I progress but I expect you have all realised that rushing isn't an option here also I wont pester andy too much then.

Thanks again to you all.
