    What do I like most???

    Thatīs not an easy question!

    I like to work specially on details, which look afterwards like an "factory Option" but are custom made by me and improve the performance of the car. That includes actually all technic of engine, brakes, shocks and so on and the interieur.

    But I specially like to meet owners of old Porsches and VW`s who work on their car as much as their ability permits, meet them, go together on weekend trips and have bbq and cold drinks. To have contact to other relaxed people with the same hobby.

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    Frank - I'm just piling onto the praise that's already in here, but what a stunning car. This hits me right in the target of all my interests in terms of building a car. You've done a spectacular job!

    Thanks a lot again!

    I will sort out some more detail pictures within the next days and load them up if you want to.

    I finished the oil filler the week before last week. Right now just bad pictures and I will try to get better ones later. The pictures of the car in front of the old Shell gas tank was done before oil filler upgrade, but I like them very much

    A pair of brandnew 911R turning signals didn`t fit to the wing, so I had to cut them, bend them to the correct position, fill the missing part with sheetmetal and weld them. Afterwards everthing was grinded, some bondo to fill up the surface and then painted. The lenses were heated up in hot water and reformed
