James - it looks fabulous !
I've always admired this car ever since Joe started building it. One of the best colours for an early 911 - is the paintwork as good as it looks ?
I agree with your ideas for the wheels though.
Enjoy it !

WOW!! - totally stunning James. You bought this unseen right?
You must be over the moon. I love it just the way it is, wheels included. Were you thinking of going to RS finish wheels? Maybe you could borrow a couple and put them on one side of the car and see if you like it better before having them done.

Pic of the interior I have handy I ll try and take a couple shortly,
The interior has full RS carpet set and panels, including rear seat deletion, half cage and Recaros and 5 point Simpson harnesses, the stereo is a bit redundant to be honestI just listen to the car, highlight for me though is the Protipo - absolute must, best wheel I ve ever held absolute perfect size and feel..

Hey Andy
Yeah its good, it needs to be reflatted and polished which when I can muster the energy is the plan, its got great colour and depth, I polished it yesterday and its 200% better than when I got it, but you can tell it needs more effort..but the paints good.
But a must to change the wheels - I could get them refinished but thought I d offer a swap theyve only just been finished and are absolutely superb, just too "bling" for me and the way I want to finish the car, but would look great on any suitable 911. I need to catch up with you ref a few RST parts soon..
The lakes are a mile from my house - I wanted a pic to have as my desktop!
