Full body resto

Post by MartinP »

No, I've not won the lottery. Rainy Sunday afternoon so I decided to take apart an old silver 912 model and give it the Crystal Blue (well, almost) treatment. Three coats later, a spot of reassembly, some new numberplates and voila. Only thing I'm missing now is an incredibly small Porsche badge for the bonnet. :)

Also knocked this up out of a lump of oak over Christmas. Yes, yes - if only I put the same effort into keeping my car looking nice... :wink:

Well, it was wet outside and after setting fire to my trousers while working on the AC at the weekend I decided that perhaps it would be safer for me to put the angle grinder down and do something on a smaller scale indoors. :)
