Patience can be rewarded... the restoration of no.40 E.

Post by jarvo1 »

I'm involved in a loose partnership of like-minded enthusiasts (fools) with a few projects on the go. Last year I was told by some on the forum that there would be interest in posting pics of the restoration of the 40th 911E, our current project. For those interested, this will give an idea of what's in store soon for Eve, the 'amazing barn-find' 911 featured last year.

So where to start? A picture.

I'm a little alien to this concept (seems a little boastful), but if there is sufficient interest, I will forward some updates to the current state of progress. :?:

Ok then.

Some more pics taken at the time of purchase. The car is ex San Francisco. Spent its whole life there until imported into the UK by an enthusiast who quickly realised that he had bitten off more than he could chew..

Not boastful at all - where else can you share your experiences, troubles, and triumphs? No-one else will understand you :lol:

Keep the pics coming. Is it being restored for a collection, for use, or both?
