2.7 RS Recreation Recreation...

Post by gridgway »

I promised that I would start a thread about the 2.7RS recreation I bought a year ago. I'll be starting the story in earnest soon, but I couldn't resist posting the pic I got today from Nick F of the nearly complete motor...

And to set the scene for the rest of the story, I can vouchsafe that wherever you start, your early porsche project will cost 20k!!!

I've checked Gary, and no it doesn't make me feel any better.

Graham - more details on the 'start point' please.
