Here's mine, which is at the welders currently. Ironically he's an ex cosworth employee in the 80's. he's a time served Rolls Royce panel beater / welder. So I'm expecting a top job. The car had been returned to standard, which makes life easier. Ive spent a small fortune on parts. The rebuild starts in January. Tune wise I'm going down the road of dark greens, chip, 3 bar and a hybrid t3.

Looks like you've covered 911's then haha, the lad I go to the ring with every year keeps threatening to buy a GT3RS and if so I think I'll be a passenger that year.
Nice 3 door, looks fantastic and the right colour, hope you enjoy it

Yeah they get under your skin, mind you so do RS's.
I'll probably return to the Pork fold later but for now I fancied something totally different and its been an itch that needed scratching for many moons and the way the values are going I needed to do it quickly.


Out of all the 911's the GT3 I owned was the best, loved that car, but it had to go due to marital bloody problems and I let it go to trade for peanuts...

Yeah its a good example, got to get the back lights to seal, as I noticed they are letting in water into the spare wheel well.

Sorry to hear the GT3 had to go, I have driven a couple on and off track and loved the steering feel and fantastic engine, that noise near the redline is just lovely.

Cracking three door and in my favourite colour too

I got my saff several years ago after getting disheartened going to look at several ropy 996s and deciding to scratch a different itch. Never looked back and have no desire to switch the cosworth for a porker (well unless it was a GT3!)
