Some pics of my 65 car being welded and preped for the paint shop. Should be back with its new paint in about 3 weeks or so.

Nice bit of lead work !

Just starting on the next one. Its in a pretty sorry state !

Looks like a lot or work

Hope your restore goes to plan. It always amazes me the type of projects people are willing to take on. With this sort of dedication the early 911 will never die!

great job, well done.

you going to re-paint it red?

That’s the plan. Originally it was sand beige but I am going for ruby red. Although the colour is proving to be a little hard to come by as the tinters are no longer made by most of the paint manufactures.

Is the second project OGP 6E by any chance?

That’s the one. Do you know any of its history?

I got it off ebay from a guy up north who brought it and the realised it was beyond his skill.

We think it has been in a fire and shot blessed at some point.

It looks pretty bad at the moment but we are making some headway. The worst part is the badly done previous repairs.

Unfortunately I dont know too much about it - In was in that state when I bought it. All I know is that I bought it from a guy in Scotland, where I think it lived most of its life.

I have one picture on file, but its no different to how it would have looked before you started work on it - I recognised the floor straight away from your pictures!

Once again - Great work saving another early RHD 912

Well done, it's great to see another car saved. Does anyone have an approximate idea of how many early cars are in the UK?.
