I bet the owner is chuffed to bits today!
Looks great and so much hard work.

Are there any old ones left for you to do as it seems to me youv'e done them all!

Great to follow these threads.

RHD 2.7 RS

and a RHD 2.4T

all at different stages of body/paint work at the moment. I will try and get round to creating/finalising our web site so I can update the progress on these cars.

Thanks

:shock:

It must be easier to start with the VIN plate in space and work back from there!

Are those Fuch your pension investment!

Is that the former PMJT / Gone in 60 seconds car? Not many of that colour around in RHD...

That 2.2s looks like it will need a bit of work too!
2006 RHD 997 Carrera (but DDK remains in my heart - also now no longer)
1972 LHD 2.4T with '73 2.4T CIS motor - gone to a new DDK home
1994 RHD 993 Carrera - gone!
1968 LHD 911L - was the Wife's but now in new hands :-(

Hi,

Ian, I am not sure of the history of the RHD RS. It is owed by a customer in South Africa, but it is a UK delivered RS.

With regards to the 2.2S that picture makes it look better than it is/was. It was then blasted and looked like this....... :shock:

The floor must be holed too?
Looks better in one 'colour' but still 'awsome'

Quite a challenge imho.

chuffed to bits is about right for how i feel about the car that Alan has produced from the rusting wreck that i gave him.

i cannot say enough good things about the work that Alan did. his attention to detail is quite unbelievable.

highly recommended to anyone with a project of a similar nature to mine.

Mr.T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr.T in the chest. the result was the 80's.
