I agree. Wish I still had it – looking just like that!

Soon ready to be installed, but door panels, rear quarter panels and parcel shelf needs to be dressed.
Back to factory specification!

Fantastic and what a great combination with the car; were they restored locally in Sweden?

Thanks both of you!
Front seat, rear seat and the steering wheel was restored by fabulous Justin Placek, Hamburg. Can give my absolute best recommendation. All is incredibly perfect done into the smallest details.
Looking forward to see when all parts are installedImageImage

Had a small tidy-up in the 3rd bedroom and found these very early shots of my 911, about 1990 at my first visit to Loton Park hillclimb.
Still LHD, 2.2 engine and 6" Cookies.
Back in those days just wear a helmet, add numbers and go racing, bit different today.

My daughter is now 40....

And me at 38 with colour in my hair.

Maybe!
Car had a 2.4E/S engine after, then a 3.2.
Bigger front brakes, lots of different pads tried.
Full roll cage.
7" rims and a multitude range of tyres
Couch seats replaced with aftermarket and a Sparco race seat, very comfortable.
The conversion
Repainted twice, first one cost £250/ DIY, last one cost £1500/ pro paint shop specialising in repairs to Van Rentals.
Various Bob Watson inspired small changes, lots of suspension mods, not all good! SSI headers and all that jazz.
About 60,000 miles done

But, over 35 years on the road now, actually not that much, but what a car.

I thought my hair went from that colour to snow white when I worked in automotive!
