Re: 911T - Light restoration
Overriders sent away for re-chroming. They have arrived back like new, all dents repaired and highly polished. Excellent job from Saj at Chrome Fix.

Re: 911T - Light restoration
Car is nearly ready.
Its sad but I actually really like knowing that the small things are clean. Interior lights are out with the new head cloth going in.

Sonic bath. More rewarding than cleaning the wife rings!

A bit of scrubbing and nice and clean.

Re: 911T - Light restoration
I have had the front windscreen replaced and the new glass has a clip design for the rear view mirror? My original mirror will not connect to this, is there an easy solution for this, can a mirror be bought that clips in?
Or best to get the original bonded on?

Re: 911T - Light restoration
Some pictures of my car almost finished, took my daughter out for a spin, she loved the leg room in the rear.
All the interior has come up really well with some cleaning and a bit of care.

Re: 911T - Light restoration
Wow Tom,
That does look stunning. The door gaps on that drivers side look perfect. Interior looks great too.
Where is the other seat? Still cleaning?
Regards
Mike
