Is that in the same league as:

" I don't know why you men complain about petrol prices. I used to put £10 worth of petrol in and I still do?! "

would you believe that my wife said that to me not that long ago. I had to explain to her that that was the reason she had to put petrol in the car almost daily rather than weekly.... she then said 'Ohhhhh' but I'm not entirely sure that she really understood. - still, she is rather lovely so I forgive her...

It really is Mike. Not even lightweight. Normal production hazard switch.
Us LWB owners benefit from lots of refinements not on the early cars. :lol:

As I started with not much more than a shell we've had to buy plenty of new parts. I should end up with a brand new Porsche. :)
Mind you it'll end up costing the price of a.... :(

Great project this, keep the updates coming.

Is this heater arrangement standard on early cars (I have an SC) or is this a modification? looks much simpler than the monstrosity that is behind my dash!

I think the fresh air collector is yet to be fitted Lewis, so won't be as sparse as in the picture.
