'Tis a day of rest today and I am feeling quite rejuvenated after a fabulous Saturday lunch down on the Brighton seafront provided by Mr Ferry Man, thank you very much! We had a lovely drive over the south downs in the SC, so much softer than the early cars, and quite restful to drive.

We will have more paint on the Hot Rod over the next week, then one of my favourite jobs :roll: installing the wiring loom!

Yes, each time I see him, Nick seems to have a different girl.
Seems to have a different 911 too.
This one's a real beauty. That white SC is nice too. :wink:

We are using a later A/R bar set up due to the lack of clearance with the coilovers and the early drop link system

Some more shots of the centre fill tank.
It's just tack welded here to check for fit.

It will be painted in a sprayable sealer type finish, not too matt, not too smooth. I didn't want black or silver. Grey is the selected colour.

That filler cap will have a drilled 'fin'.

Too late. 'Already had my birthday. I'm in my fifties now. :(
Don't worry the celebrations are lasting well over a month. :)

Still a long way off being as old as you though, Mr Cohen. :wink: :lol:

I've only met you briefly Paul and I wouldn't have put you in your 50s. Perhaps the sun was in my eyes. Good looking project by the way.
