That's funny - I was down at centre gravity yesterday! Chris is incredibly meticulous and helpful isn't he. Presumably he took you on his test route as well

Re: 1974 Carrera Coupe - RHD, UK car
Thanks for the generous comments.
I'm very pleased with the car and the work Center Gravity did just helps reinforce that perception.
The Editor of Classic Porsche Magazine has very kindly invited the car to appear on their stand at The Castle. See you there.

Well you might not need to walk to the public car park to see it.Lightweight_911 wrote:Car looks fabulous Paul - hope to have a good look at it at Hedingham in a few weeks' time.

^^^ must've been some stubble rash involved with taking that shot, Paul. Worth it though.

Re: 1974 Carrera Coupe - RHD, UK car
I have just read this entire thread over two days, my first and only thread so far. Somehow, I don't think I will ever read another with such an immaculate outcome; WOW! I have absolute admiration for your meticulous attention to detail.
Lime with envy.

Thanks for the kind words Rich. Welcome to DDK.
And thanks for resurrecting the thread, 'glad you enjoyed it.
Your contribution reminds me I should add some pics of the car now it's run-in.
