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

Rusty but very solid only surface

Scraped and got a kg of muck and dust

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!!

And a good deal from one of our advertises, RH Insurance.

Broke the 120,000 mile barrier with the engine roaring at the red line

Drove to and from work

Didn't hit red line or oversteer. Not trying hard enough!

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.

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

Sad day

Gone to a good home? Anyone we know?

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!

Mike, Hayley's 356 is going to appreciate the sacrifice

Not having much luck with my car though...... New clutch in and the vibration has gone

..... Roll pin on the pedal assembly holding clutch pedal to the operating shaft sheared last night ! Bugger

Pedal assembly now out of the car and looks like I'm going to have to drill out the remains of the pin

Made a start on knocking up an A frame to roll the old girl over...
