As ever, I have ideas for about 5 projects in my head at any one time...who doesn't ?! Right ?
How much ( ££ just for parts) would it cost to turn a 3.0 sc ( 1980) into an ealrier looking car ( not including wheels) ? Just for future refernce, in case everything else fails !!
To start with, to get rid of the dreaded whale tail !!
Thanks, Mark

There are kits available that claim you can do the whole job, including paint, for £3500. It all depends how good you you want your rep to be.

Exactly where I think I'll be heading as well.
I've got a few ideas of what I want to do, just waiting for a suitable donor to drop into my lap: ideally nice and rusty

Barry,
There was a perfect candidate parked three feet from you tent all CLM !
I'll give you a good discount
Cheers...Russ

Russ, I don't think yours was at least rusty enough for Barry
Throw a bit salty water at it and he might be interested.

Decided to get 'something' and it's a 912E and I WONT be converting to earlier look....am I still allowed to post, will the door be closed ?
I was looking at pics of the sadly-sold
'66, and as pretty as the SWB early cars are, I don't think I could change the 912E from it's very original state.
When I have a few more $$ in the future, maybe I will go back down the early route...if I'm not priced out of the market !!

I entered DDK with a 912e, I'm sure you'll be welcome. Pretty rare car really.
