    Pictures of restoration projects

    It would be nice to see some pictures of some hopelessly rusty or beaten up 911 that have been saved/restored to their original splendour! Do anybody hear have before and after pics or links to sites with such pics? (pre 74)

    Here's a link that describes the restoration of a '72 S done by board member Nick Moss in the UK:

    Here are a few pictures of my experiences. The car is a 1972 911S. Waiting to do the interior.
    Which I will need the advise of members.
    Lots of work, but fun.

    Actually in that state, I was able to pick up the rear of the car off the ground, and I am not that strong.

    I'm in the middle of charity case 72T. Anyone else would have cut it up and stripped it for the 10 decent parts it had on it. The fact that it was a hopeless reject is what attracted me to it.
    That Nick Moss thread is incredible!
