Bit too much turquoise in there I thought.
Let's go with a black dash.

catching up with the forum after a few days away and hey presto!

If this was Hello magazine, this would be a right royal reportage.

Fantastic work, Paul (and Nick and Nick and ...)

Paul, why did you use a rusty 2.4E shell? Was it cheaper in the end to start with as most of the outer panels except the roof are new? Is it to keep it in period as a proper S/T recreation? The amount of metalwork that went into this is mind boggling!

Best regards,

Bert

Well, it did only cost a couple of grand. Which is beginnig to look like a good buy now. So it was a cheap enough base (especially for RHD).
True, it was particularly rusty but then they all are aren't they?
Oh and - just to correct you - EVERY outer panel is new, even the roof (no sunroof).

Great stuff, the more the merrier.
I think it's the best shape of all the early Porsche's.
Your base car looks good.

What colour will yours be?
