Nearly ready to hillclimb!

Looks great and distinctive, a long project, but there at the end.

I had the pleasure of meeting Andy at Alan's last week and am pleased to say that he had his 911 with him. The car is a stunning tribute to his skills and those specialists he enlisted to help complete the project and no amount of words or photographs can convey the true quality of this build - I was in awe of his achievement and quite speechless when I studied the car. The fact that he kicked it off without any real knowledge of early 911's or the specialist fraternity that has built up around them - AND that he built it in his garage, just makes the final result even more impressive. If there's one criticism, it's that no 911R ever left Stuttgart this well presented!

Weather permitting, Andy has threatened to take the car to the "Porsches at Poole Quay" event on May 17th - and run it with the caps off the exhaust...if you're there, you'll be in for a treat.

Andy, you have a PM regarding my spoiler fixings.
