Re: 911e sporto barn find
Hi
I replaced mine with stainless steel pistons from Neil Bainbridge. I think Roger Bray and Alan Drayson will also be able to supply them.
Nice to see some progress on the car. Keep the updates coming.
Kind Regards

Re: 911e sporto barn find
I called in to visit Keith today who allowed me to crawl all over his 911E.
This 911 is simply gorgeous - everything about the car is crisp, correct and totally original, although it carries a wonderful patina many items are so fresh and in great order that it's hard to believe it's knocking on 40 years old!

I've looked closely at many wonderful early 911s and some beautifully restored examples but how often do you get to see a genuine untouched 20,000 mile original?
This has to be one of, if not the, best early 911s I've seen and certainly one of my favourites - Great to know Keith is keeping it just the way it is
Many thanks for your time Keith, it was a massive inspiration
Cheers,
Darren

Re: 911e sporto barn find
Darren you are welcome anytime, I really enjoyed chatting today, you have also inspired me to get cracking.
Im also looking forward to seeing your car when its done, you certainly have an eye for the details and I have no doubt it will be a stunner.
Thanks for your kind comments, see you at CLM 201?
