Slow progress, but I now have all of my panels back. It's starting to come together. First drive is scheduled for July.

Cheers Wayne. I'll take you up on that. The Boxster brake upgrade will be a winter project now, along with a lot of ironing out of niggles. A necessary evil though if I want to drive the car this summer.

Looks like you installed your new dash top. If so, how much work did it take to fit?

Would you recommend the product?

Cheers

It just dropped in. A terrific fit. It looked like it would need some fettling, but it must have been my eyes. The glass fitter had a struggle in one of the windscreen corners as the dash almost butts up to the screen, but managed it eventually. I'm really pleased with it.

Getting the final few pieces together to finish putting the car together. Chris at Fenn Lane has knocked these up for me, made to measure due to the mounting plates on my GRP bumpers being inboard.

I've got all new seals to finish building the doors, although I'm not looking forward to that bit and may have a few questions on which bit goes where. Freshly rebuilt engine and box should be installed in roughly 3 weeks then it's the running in period.

It's far from finished, but a few hundred miles has renewed my enthusiasm for getting it 100% over winter;
