Re: Tangerine 911T restored at home on a very tight budget !
The fire was pretty overwhelming and I had brown trousers after the event ,, luckily there wasn't any damage just a bit of paint damage which actually looks worse than it is
Bitumen pads removed with a chisel and the primer lovely and untouched underneath ,,
Orange on roof untouched unbelievably ,,, just smokey black but wiped off
Phew

Bodyshell complete , engine rebuilt ,,just need to get rid of this horrible cold and get back in the garage
I'm a little bit daunted by the number of newly refurbished parts all over my dining room,but I guess once I start the pile will get smaller
I've usually found it motivating putting shiny parts back on a shiny body

Re: Tangerine 911T restored at home on a very tight budget !
Forgot to add
Biagio sent me a pic a few nights back of my newly refurbished and date matching non heart deep 6x15
It took my about two years of buying odd wheels to accomplish a matching set of these ..in fact at one point I had about 15 wheels as I had pairs or sets of three of Nov Dec and january wheels as well as other oddments but wanted a full set that complimented my jan 71 T
I don't think I've ever been so anal until I met you lot lol
Now got 4x Jan 71 with a Dec 70 spare
Looking ace ,just hope I don't kerb them ! My Mrs definitely NOT getting a go !

Cheers Bootsy ... it's all the missing bolts clips etc I'm worried about
It's giving me a headache looking at the parts diagram

Re: Tangerine 911T restored at home on a very tight budget !
Thanks James
Not seen Biagios work yet as he is re-anodising all of my other trims too and I want to collect everything at the same time .... but the pics of my wheels look great
Shell looks great despite the few set backs last year ! ......ie setting it on fire mid paint
Too many projects and not enough space !
