went to collect my 911S today from Tuthills but it wasn't quite 100% ready for us yet. just need a thorough road test & waxoil treatment.

so i had to drive away and leave it sitting there

the rear ends jacked up here having my 14" fuchs put on while Nick Moss finishes referbishing my 15"s

Does that mean I need to get the garage empty !

That does look good

Bet you can't wait to take it for a spin again.

yes please Tim it would be good to be able to put it away at night in its garage.

Tuthills have done a brilliant job, especially noticable is the door gaps & pillars. i love the fog lights but, they now make the sidelights (and headlights) look really dim.

Looks superb, out of interest what was the final tab?

Helen · Post by **Helen** » Tue May 12, 2009 10:19 pm

a little over £20k

Worth every penny. You`ll see... when you`re at 5 and a half thousand revs.... and you put your foot down.

Gloriousness awaits you, When do you pick her up?

Hi Helen,
I collected my car from Tuthills Friday before and saw your car there. Looking good. I had seen it previously in the body shop when I was up there.
I had a 2.7 engine conversion, front and rear underguards fitted plus a few other jobs.
I have a host of other jobs now to finish off the preparation for its first regularity event next month. Entry in so no excuses!!
