So long since I first saw this in Airdrie at Colin's bodyshop. I know it has been a long and tortuous journey but this is going to look fantastic and am sure it will be one of the nicest early 911's out there. Such a fantastic colour.

That’s the worst bit of logic I have heard in a while! Come on Tom, work harder on the man maths.
Agree, wife has gotten in the way. Must try harder

Haha!
Although, actually... might be nice to have some space for a while? Presumably you would still have one or two cars?!
I'm sure you'd find some other interesting stuff to put in there, in due course...

Progress continues, Garry has managed to move forward with leaps and bounds. Engine has been on the dyno and second time round all seems to be good. Looking forward to see the car up close.

Looking good Tom. I can’t read the dyno sheet though as the pic is too low res, what’s the numbers ?

Hi Tom

Must be great to see it all coming together after what must have been a bumpy ride. Engine looks like its giving very healthy output well into the 200Hp.

Who built the engine Tom?

Kind Regards

Mike B built the engine. I had tried to post the video of it running on the dyno at Neil B, sounds great but the clip didn't come through.

Shows torque around 176 and max bhp 205. Thought this looed low in terms of the max torque but good on output. Not sure?

As the chains stretch the torque will probably increase as the cam timing changes.

You’ve got more torque than my high comp 2.4s motor but less power… so I’d say that sounds about right for 2.4 E vs a 2.4 S
