Show your ride...

Hi all -

My name is Shane Rudd and I live in Australia (Sydney), the members of the typ901 club (Phil and Clyde) in Australia introduced me to this site.

I'm 38 married with two kids Lucy (5) and Harry (3) and a Private Banker.

My ride was a 6 year saving of bonuses and alike (they are a little dearer in Oz as you may be aware) and at least 4 of those years pre-selling the idea of a classic 911 in our garage with my beautiful wife. It has been just 12 months of ownership and I haven'y wiped the smile of my face.

I have had some heartache with wrenches and my wallet and like all serious pain it is all forgotten. I have attempted, successfully many DIY jobs (some difficult) and have come away with an enormous sense of self.

I have driven by myself, with my family, with my P Car family, fast, slow and any time I can get into my (standard) seat.

I have learnt my car is close to stock, but has lost some of the interior good bits (door pockets) and exterior gems (orange bar hood badge) but I still look and smile evertime I turn away after closing the door.

All in all she is mine for evermore (hopefully) and I would not want another.. the dream is my reality - seriously lucky.

The car is a 1970 non sunroof coupe 2.2ltr Zenith Carbed silver beauty (Australian Delivered matching numbered car)... original paint code was 2424 with a 915 conversion in place of the sporto. It has had an interior redone with the houndstooth seats etc etc

I have many items and small jobs I need to attack on my beauty - I could list them, however they are probably the same as everyone else. I will need the expertise of this group and in turn I'll try to add some value with my discoveries.

Here are a few shots - I'll try to add some better ones as time goes on. cheers Shane

Here are the pics (I think?)

Shane,

the main thing you must abide by when posting images is keep them under 100K per file. I find that 800 x 600 resolution gives me an acceptable file size to post. remember you can post multiple images so long as their individually comply.

The "manage attachment" wizard will also give you an error message if you try to upload a too large file. It loks like it goes thru but then doesnt show up after you close the window under your message window witht eh file names.

You need to have some image management softwrae to alter file size OR preset yr digital camera resolution to ensure you dont exceed the 100K limit

looking forward to seeing yr posts

-replace front horn grills
-change front and rear brake pads
-install retracting seat belts in the rear (part of the purchase contract with my beautiful wife and the two children)
-replace and recover shift plate
-install new fuse board (top 8)
-change oil
-change transmission oil
-adjust clutch
-change fan belt
