Hi to all at DDK
Been poking around this site for some time now so it's high time i joined up so here go's
At present i am trying to restore my 1962 356, B T6 RHD. Been trying to get one of these cars all my adult life, so it's been a 30 odd year passion
bought this car from the good guy's at PR Services just over a year ago. She's a rusty one, or should i say was, anyway it's probably the only way i could get my hands on one
without breaking the bank, buy a rusty one and restore it myself, luckily i am a HGV mechanic with bodywork experience , restored a few cars over the years and my other passion
vintage scooters. anyway i will possibly need advice and help from a few of you guy's and gal's from time to time.

Cheers for now

Andy James. :cheers:

You basically have to upload them to one of the online sites such as photobucket and then put a link to those pictures in your posting between \[img\] tags - there is a guide on it somewhere on the forum

Hi Andy, i'm in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and have restored a 356C and also a 356a.

i am just clearing out my sheds as just about (hopefully) to move house. i have a few odds and sods of 356 bits which might be of use to you. was going to take them down the tip. so if you want them your welcome to them.

Well, i think i managed to work out the pictures. Here she is, looks can be deceiving . Had to replace just about the whole front end, front clip, wings closing panels, battery box etc, plus new floor fitted and longditudinals, lots more to do but in no rush.

cheers

Andy.
