Re: 993 restoration
Thank you everyone for the compliments.
The car was over at my local OPC this afternoon (collecting hopefully the last few parts I needed), it garnered some praise there too.
Here's a few more pics:

Re: 993 restoration
Glorious.
Remind me, has the engine been altered in any way?
Lots of RS hints but still doesn't look like it is trying to be anything else other than a lovely C2 that has been refined to suit the owners taste, much prefer this to a full replica.
The seats are fantastic, love that they are RS comforts as well, the benefit of being comfortable without the weight of the electric motors.
Top class.

Loop the NSF earth lead behind the main loom as you have on the OSF?
Looks better every time you see a different shot.
Ride height best left alone imho.

Also, those perforated tie-wraps - two of them have nine holes showing, one has eight.Ferry Man wrote:Ha ha, now you've pointed it out I'll have to sort that wiring and tidy it up.911hillclimber wrote:Loop the NSF earth lead behind the main loom as you have on the OSF?

Re: 993 restoration
I have a little sign my family bought me that says "I have CDO. It's like OCD but the letters are in the correct order"
Think that applies to many on here!
