Hi,
Well a few things have changed since my last mail the car now has a new owner, and as the new owner he wants a few different things.
The first is a colour change. This does involve quite alot of work... but the car is now going Gemini Blue.
Bye bye Purple
The dash was stripped to change the colour
Anyway, refit is going well...
Also the front suspension has been changed as 3.2 front discs and callipers are now going on. Thus, the struts have been change, with new front adjustable konis and bilstein rears.
Thanks
Alan

You are doing a really wonderful restoration and it is a joy to watch it progress so quickly.
I am really pleased for the new owner to get a colour that they like and secretly a bit relieved that if it is not purple anymore and it will not seem like my car any more - so I will now not be jealous.

Shame to loose the original colour, especially after finding the signature but it's the purchasers cash after all.
Have you brought the next resto yet? was it a Targa?

Hi,
Sorry, I have not updated this thread as I have not worked on this car in while, this is due to my wedding plans, yes it has happened, after 15 years I finally asked.... so May it is ! and boy does it take some arranging.
Anyway..... back to the targa....
I have now started to fit up the doors and fit the carpet (which I actually quite like doing).. The carpets are the original Salt n pepper style and the fit very well. I have had all the panels and rear seats re-trimmed in black leather and will be fitting replica sport seats sourced through early911. More pics to follow
Thanks
Alan
