Wow! Wow! Wow!
Incredible skills, very impressive.
I'll definitely check out his more detailed build videos, cheers for sharing.

Very impressive, I think he’s been overly modest, there’s nothing average about his skills with a welder, a spray gun etc etc.

Been following this since the start.

I think he made a better job of the 911 than the 240Z he's currently buidling. Some bits on that look proper bodgy to me. But fair play to him, he certainly gets stuck in.

Next up is an Alfa 105-series, so he's alright by me.

Yes, I noticed the trimming was somewhat less than optimal ... but fair play to the guy for giving it a go. Added to which, working from Nomex patterns is much more tricky than working from leather or leatherette items.
It just reinforces my view that any money spend with a decent trimmer is money well spent.

very impressive.

Seats, doors and back grill (vent?) look a bit diy but everything else.....! It's when the video then cuts to the engine and you realise he's also going to tackle it.

Yeah, I think I'll just buy a 997..... biggrin

Well, half tackling it. He's sent it over to a specialist in California for reassembly and machining. The shots you see of him going valve grinding etc. are a holiday when he visits the guy over there in his shop.

Seeing as it's been there over a year it must be a very trick build!
