Well not today but the last couple of weeks

Looked in the wheel arch and noticed that there was NO underseal or coating on the metal at all and it was rusty

So thinking the worst jacked it up and a week later have a nice shiny inner wheel arch

Image
Rusty but very solid only surface

Scraped and got a kg of muck and dust
Image

Image
all painted

Rooted around the front and for some reason looked behind the numberplate. And out popped a hood badge!!
is it the original one? I remember the front not having a badge when I bought it.

This is what's on the car

and one last thing to make it go faster

some stickers!!

Opened a big brown box from a very helpful DDK'er and inside was a rebuilt known-to-be-good 3.2 ecu to trial to see if mine is causing the rough running.

DDK at it's best. :bounce:

Left the sick 911 in the garage and going to SPA in my Skoda instead.
Wife happy. :blackeye:

A good home I think but nobody I know. I think the car will be returned to its original dolphin grey.

Hopefully it'll turn up again one day, looking like it did in Parker and Parker's showroom, 46 years ago. :)

It is a sad day but if I don't think about it, I'm fine.

Mike.

Quick! You've left the DDK & Early S badges on the grill!

Mike, I changed my signature a while back as I knew you had this day coming...

Fear not. Chin up ol' boy. It'll be fine - promise!
