Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Got the race car off the stands for the first time in 6 months - 3 days short of the season opener at Anglesey. It is easy to see why I struggle to get it on and off the trailer and keep cracking under trays….

Stunning. Looks like Signal Orange there.
1970 911T, Signal orange (Restoration thread)
1988 3.2 Carrera backdate, Black
2001 996 Turbo, Lapis blue (am I allowed to put that here?)
I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

Thanks Rob. It can also look almost like Bahia Red too in different light!

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Yesterday I went to the beach and I filled the tank before and after and when I worked out the mpg it was only about 15 which is about what my 911E did.
I was a bit concerned at this I thought it should be better than that. So I started crawling underneath looking for leaks. I didn't find any.
It was only later that I had one of those wonder if moments and looked at the receipt and I realised that I had used the cost rather than the litres and it was actually a more reasonable 26mpg.
Really I was only doing this to see if I can rely on the fuel gauge which I should have believed as it was right.

Never had one with this tank I fitted the big tank many years back and never got around to buying a collapsible spare.jb wrote:what happened to the spare wheel?
Can of ‘fix a flat’ and a pump is the plan now.

Run up the road (the first for 6 months sadly) and then dropped the oil ready for a little project which I will cover in my resto thread
