Not an original colour, not the right front bumper, whale tail added. There is no way they did the restoration for the price quoted... However I'd buy it for 22k ( as valued) for a bare metal restore in my second favourite colour - orange thumbup

Get rid of the whale tail and non-standard bumper and it would be near perfect.
Apart from the backdated rear end, and that its a LHD conversion of course...

... And the non-standard engine biggrin

Nice, but it needed matching hand-painted callipers, a proper rear spoiler and the right stickers to finish it off... wink

No idea about old 911s really, but will someone actually pay 22 grand for a 35 year old car that's cobbled together with random bits, is gobbo'd up with filler, painted in a non original colour and finished with a 1 inch brush?

More than likely being a '77 car, but pretty much nothing was left of it regardless-just a typical 911 bitsa

What an education. I was going to take my calipers off and get them blasted and coated to restore the odd chips here and there, turns out I just need a pot of yellow gloss from B and Q and a 1" brush. That's saved me a fortune.

I'm wondering about temperature though, I might email the program but presumably I need that radiator paint?
