But you’ll miss it while Barry is laying on his hands

Wish I had that space Gary!! Here is mine - car is freshly Barry'd from the front, back to the doors. Luckily, one of the three bonnets that I had collected met his approval. I decided on new OEM wings as one of mine was toast behind the hockey stick shaped support and my attempts to 'fix' it with a hammer and dolly only made it worse Leading next on both sides of the scuttle panel (around the windscreen) to close the gaps to the new wings... then new kidney bowls and new rear quarter sections in the area removed to get to the bowls... fun, fun!

Looks good Dean, I do forget sometimes that my garage is a decent size. Spent years in a single fighting and you adapt, but everything is so much harder.

Car is all packed ready to roll for the long tow south tomorrow. Fun getting it in as this trailer may have a roof but it doesn’t have a winch!

I’ll be buying a winch before I try to load it for the return.

Good to see Gary, best of luck for the run tomorrow.

A Big Garage = a Big Mess to keep clean!

How long before the return trip is needed?

6.5 hours drive later....

Gently does it, up she goes:


And she’s on (and screen jigs in)



Verdict is it’s pretty much straight, needs a gentle tug across the back (2mm) other than that it bolted straight on.

Barry is happy with it, no horrors found, not bent as a banana!

A great relief

Beer in hand now at the hotel and a long drive back tomorrow ready to tidy the garage!

Thats great news Gary. Another big relief.
Now that you have space in your garage, why don't i bring my 911 to park there so you can keep your skills up to
scratch.

Seems like it’s next occupant will be my mates 944 for a bottom end rebuild.

I’ve tried to tell him that knocking noise isn’t normal

It’s weird but doing another one would be so simple, you’d jump straight to the right way to do it rather than cocking about with ‘easier’ options.

You can see why after 47 911s Barry has the hang of it...

I can see a new career for you Gary

BTW fantastic news about the condition of your chassis.

Excellent news Gary.

I get all my trailer bits from Trailertek, and have always found them really reliable. Good to see you got th3 hang of the trailer reversing bit!
