Quick hello to everybody on the forum. I previously owned a 964 c4 which is now sold and I now have a serious hankering for something along the 2.2 school of thought.... after i win the lottery... or perhaps a project will do... either way.. hello all!

Hi there and welcome to the forum. :)
Don't take on a project, it'll ruin you. Wise words from me: "Wait till you win the lottery". :wink:
We'll all be rooting for you in your quest to find a suitable car (restored or otherwise), you're in the right place to find a good early 911. :)

Welcome to DDK! Enjoy the forum and happy hunting for the right car or project.

If you haven't been already, Castle Hedingham is the best event to see all types of early Porsche.

Thanks chaps. I have restored a '79 mk1 golf so there is some knowledge, but sounds like the 911 parts are a lot more expensive than the common golf part!

And they rust more. Remember rust. Rust is key. Plus when looking at any car consider 2 things......

Rust and some more rust

Welcome aboard. You find some very helpful and knowledgeable people on here (excluding me)

Thanks Bootsy, but I think you have never seen a 79 Mk1 golf and their tendancy for rust!

Incredible, the boys on the mk1 forum use the iceberg principle when viewing cars for rust... what you see is only 10%.....

What can i say, I am a sucker for old german rust..... :)
