That's a good effort! Hope the colour matching from paint isn't as bad as that side pic looks and is hopefully just a bad pic. Respect to anyone who runs a car like that!

But what colour stitching has it got. We seem to have missed the key issue hehe

Fantastic and amazing mileage! Thanks for sharing.

(Although I would have loved to see a pic of the interior with those miles...)

There’s an ‘88 911 Carrera 3.2 (CS) in the U.K. with, iirc, 400,000 mls.

I had one of these. Incredible cars and felt really well built, especially the full leather interior. An amazingly comfortable place to cover miles. Used to love European road trips in it.

The boxes are the Achilles - I wonder how much longer an expertly re-but box would last compared to the OE item - but the torque they handle is huge on a turbo.
