Not really sure where to start with this, other than a few pictures of where I am going. 1973 Porsche 911 E - RHD Gemini Blue. (Mike - I think this is the right colour this time )

There is a bit of a story with this one and I will get to that, but not at the moment. Here she is in all her glory, and fully dressed or should that be over dressed?

The car in question was bought by an active DDK member and many of you might well know the car, without gong in to too much detail I then bought it a few years into the restoration, the transformation had already begun. It really is a thing of beauty.

In reality its is an absolute dog in terms of the shell and structure, so far the car has been stripped and sent to Enviro-Strip. It actually looks better now its back to bear metal.

The comment from my body shop owner Colin was that the roof looks ok, two weeks later I stop in to discuss panels and other elements and he is now thinking the roof isn't so good. This is a long term project and I am looking forward to the process almost as much as seeing the car at the end. The big plus with this car was the previous owner had amassed almost everything that was required to restore the car, all of the following is now neatly tucked away in storage.

So onwards and upwards, the car now is sitting waiting on brackets and towers coming for the Celette jig that will become its home. Perhaps a bit prematurely, the gearbox and engine are with Mike Bainbridge, but equally I wanted these assessed before I jump head first into this. Updates will follow...wish me luck.
