Good to see you didn’t snooker yourself there.
It does happen; seen a few cars and boat being finished only for the owner to realise they can’t get the thing out.
Looking great Darren -looking forward to the next phase!

.......It does happen; seen a few cars and boat being finished only for the owner to realise they can’t get the thing out.....

....indeed it does and I've seen a few howlers......although knowing that Barry's workshop entrance is tight even for a narrow car there was no danger in this instance!

Russ, Patrick....I appreciate your kind comments

.....lol.....I guess whatever vin number I guessed I was always going to be close!

Care to share?......just so I know what folder to put the photos in!

......although they all have that distinctive eyebrow curve, the variances in the shape of the flares on the original 3.0RS's is amazing but guess that's what to expect on hand built race cars ....

....of course it's hard to know exactly what's original on cars approaching 50-years old although there's enough early reference photos around to have a clear idea of how they should look....





















.....I'm really happy with the arches supplied by Marek Lappock ( early911parts ) and how the shell is looking and even the metal meister Barry Carter who fitted these rated them as just perfect....cheers Marek
