Anthony, I've just checked out your website.
Strangely fascinating. I saw springs I'd never seen before.
Must be a boy thing, I found myself captivated and enthralled.
Spellbound by springs. :wink:

Mark, I'm ignoring you. :tongue3:

We've now got spring spacers (to help clearance on the front inner wing and rear suspension towers). So what does Nick do? He gets them anodised in turquoise! :) Attention to detail eh? 8)

Isn't the spring on the oil door back to front?
Is that the only deliberate mistake you guys have spotted? :roll: You are slipping! :wink:

Just stumbled accross this thread - I can't believe that I missed it. It shows that you can log on every day and skip over whole sections.

Paul, very good choice of colour. Seeing your car come together makes me want to push on with my 'Turkis' 911. Arrangements are being made at this very moment for my car to be moved to a friends for a start on the reassembly after laying dormant for about 8 years. Luckily there has been no storage damage and no signs of any deterioration of paint & body.

I'll be watching this with interest from now on.

Cheers,
Ferry Man

Glad to hear things are coming alive again on your project, we need to get these kindred spirits together on the road. 8)

This is another shot of Ralphs by the way (not mine).

Press fast forward... and watch it take shape. :)
