to look at and possibly rebuild my 68 912 5 speed box. :(

I am looking for someone in the NW, Lancashire or Chesire.

Any suggestions?

Cheers Matt

I was over in John Holland’s place a while back at Unit Eleven in Warrington and enquired about mine. He reckoned it’s an easy job for him to take on. I even scored a free selector seal to keep me going, top bloke 8)

If it were me I would send it to Mike as well. He is already doing 3 early boxes for me at the moment (a 67 box and 2 1970s boxes) and previous boxes done have all been very good.

I'll take a look at Mike's website and give him a call too.

Time is precious at present, busy looking after a 1 week old boy.

Jeez I need sleep...

Aaahhh the brown E that was a really sweet, tight car.

I sold it the day before I was due to call the shipping company. I got a good price for it which shows the poorer cousins are getting dragged up with the 911s.

I was asking mid teens$ and got just about that.

Gutted to sell it though, but now I can get the 68 out of the garage and back up and about.

Callum has come out for a trip to Starbucks today at 10 days old, what a trooper. Matt
