356 back to metal repaint.

Cute

Getting pretty rare these days are 356s. I dont remember the last time i saw one on the road.

This little number came in for a complete repaint taking it back to bare metal. It deserved nothing less.
Messy job though all that stripping.

Thankfully pretty much all parts of the 911 are still available either [...]

G50 Torque Tube conversion

Here it is, I knew I had a picture of it somewhere.. This is the ongoing G50 conversion for the Chartreuse RSR. Ive just got through removing the torque tube centre section of the 915 and will replace it with a suitable G50 section. Pretty straightforward work on a shell thats already stripped to this [...]
