Re: Wot, not another '79 Targa resto thread
Last minute change of plan – I went to the Basingstoke Festival of Transport instead of Beaulieu. A few aircooled Veedubs & vans, but no aircooled Porsches. Well, except for mine in the ‘visitors’ carpark. What did I learn on this little jaunt 1 – the heaters are staying partially on. Simple on ...

Re: Wot, not another '79 Targa resto thread
Sometime forgiveness is easier than permission (providing you’re still alive to seek forgiveness).
That said, when I bought my Lotus, SWMBO didn’t speak to me for about 6 months

Re: Fairmile 2023
My current plans are to get there about 6-ish (but life sometimes has other plans, like the roadworks on the A3 junction before)

Re: Wot, not another '79 Targa resto thread
Definitely need another project, even though sailing is about to get somewhat mental, and coupled with CLM and a family holiday, I won’t have more than a couple of days free at any one time until September now. As there’s negligible chance of me finding another 911 for stupidly cheap (unless someone...

Re: Wot, not another '79 Targa resto thread
Driving the car as much as I can now, but that still isn’t very often. Most journeys are just a couple of miles, so I'm considering pottering down to the Beaulieu Spring Autojumble in the morning, just because it’s there. However, being in the middle of a whole fortnight without sailing and no proje...

Re: Wot, not another '79 Targa resto thread
Sorry Graham, missed that. That's not a spring, that's my Allen key as I was removing bits. Having been toooo slow and missed the opportunity to buy a fire extinguisher bracket (was typing my response as it was snapped up before my very eyes), I thought that it was maybe time to do something about t...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Me too, but just think of all the fun (buying tools and messing about in the garage) that Sladey’s had doing it the hard way
