911s finally finished

Post by rft218 »

Hi All,

After longer than I care to admit to my 911s is finally finished. I have had a lot of help along the way from many kind people on here that have helped me with the many details required to build a car from what was a disassembled rolling shell... with engine in bits. I have tried to do it as original as possible but I am sure there are details that I haven't got right. The one I admit to is not painting the underneath in black underseal, as it just looked too good to paint when the welding was done! :-). I have done most of it myself, the only major work was the welding (done by a friend) and painting (originally done in my garage and then redone by a local classic car shop, and gearbox by Steve Monk. I did all electrics, interior, all mechanicals, built engine, set up MFI etc, so it has been a long journey but worth it!

Thanks all,

It's 11/10 for all that DIY, hard work at times I'm sure, but what a result. Spring is just around the corner! :)
