Re: 72 Hotrod - my new project

It's expensive buying new parts from Porsche.
That isn't necessarily the only way to restore a Porsche properly!
For example new Porsche headlight reflectors are made in Czech Republic not Germany like the originals.

Re: Early Seat Restoration

Wanted to post up some pics of the fabulous job Garry has done on some original 1973 recaro sports seats.

Re: A future classic (I hope) 968CS

I test drove a 968CS with 125k miles on the clock a few years back which was up for £7k at the time and it was a pretty underwhelming experience tbh.
