I'd love to own a piece of craftsmanship like that one day. Must start saving the pennies.

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.

Covered in dust and looking unloved the RS was finally pulled out of storage this week...

...a quick wash and the truck loaded with dusty parts...

...and safely delivered to GDC Automotive for Gary and Giulio to work their magic...

...hopefully we'll have meaningful progress soon :thumbright:
