Picked up my 911E yesterday after a full suspension strip down and rebuild. Reasonably standard with a few tweaks, corner weighted and geo set up to my liking. Also had a few other other things sorted out, particularly the gearbox which has been re-bushed and correctly adjusted.
The suspension refresh was a revelation, amazing how much of a difference it makes. Looking forward to giving it a proper road test.
What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

No porker here either but did fall off Winnebago chassis during stripping and landed arse-first on 20" Cayenne rim. Perinium buzzing still... Ouch!

It's in Tadley. They are very reasonable in how they interpret some of the rules. First time they taped up the LHD headlights and allowed the US rear lights.Lightweight_911 wrote:Haven't seen your car for a while Serhad - I thought you'd sold it

I sold the Silver 72 911.
There's a couple of scrapes and flaws in the paintwork that I'm getting fixed over the winter. If I don't use it more than I did over the last couple of years then I may sell it and get another early 911

As a matter of interest who did you choose to sort the paint ?

Took the hot rod to Stoneligh Classic car come auto jumble today solo.
Car ran a dream, so easy to keep up with all the West Midlands Sunday motorway traffic..you know, the 65mph in the middle lane is plenty fast enough in our county Sir!
Lots of good stuff at this one day show, bought some good stuff and one silly buy, an old Roberts radio that will get Radio 2 for the garage.
