FAST 911 Turbo

Good morning everyone.

My name is Jay and I'm a lifelong 911 fan since I played with my first Corgi toy Porsche in the early 80's.

I'd like to showcase my latest vehicle related project (using a good friend's 1981 Turbo coupe) that I'm heavily focused on in my bid to help in the fight for a world with fewer strokes.


Here's my first picture of the car when I took over the restoration last July




Engine out!



Turbo rebuilt


Andy from www.AETTurbos.co.uk hands over our refreshed KKK charger.<br/>We're gaining great support from the Auto trade




The car had been sat for outside for many years. Corrosion everywhere :-(


Where are we now?<br/>www.porschesheffield.co.uk is a major partner in our FAST 911 Turbo campaign.<br/>



Before i commence with a strip down photo thread please take a look at this 3min 33 second video on youtube to help you understand where my motivation and inspiration comes from:





Many thanks for being a part of my Porsche world :-)

It'd be a dream to drive a 911 along a sunny California mountain road :-)

We do get some sunshine here in UK... at least 1 day each year lol
