The 356 restoration is SLOWLY coming along. after removing the interior, we found some rust under the passenger seat. good and bad...good is they are original flloor pans and longitudinals...bad = the floor pan needs replaced. working on another engine i bought a while back...it will be a little more HP than the original super 1600.
i bought my company back in december 2010 so i have been totally engrossed in that. still searching for a car. i thought i wanted a newer turbo or gt3 but i just cant seem to shake the 993. who knows...hopefully i'll be back in the fold soon.
thanks for the kind words.
You miss your car and RL misses you. Solution's easy!
...get a 993, & we'll enjoy seeing you back here
I have a pic of your Speedster in my garage.. Just love it!
"Swede"-- Awesome! BTW, if you want my red jalopy in your garage, too, just talk to my wife.
... No, luckily, I'm just joshin'
I wish I was joking when I write that there's no garage at my house, though.
Luckily, that should change soon ... we're planning to move.
So besides finally storing 'Speedy' at home, I may get the space to separate & display all the RL 993 calendar photo-pages through the years on the garage walls, to enjoy everyone's 993s!
(Anybody remember the RLer that already did that, and posted a pic?)
In the meantime, back to another Carroll Shelby creation that's certainly adorned garages, walls, and dreams:
The ultra-rare experimental Mustang GT500KR prototype, the 1968 Shelby EXP500 Hardtop. It's a one-of-a-kind called "The Green Hornet."
FWIW: According to Craig Jackson (who owned it last I knew), it's valued >$1M USD.

it's great to have em up there to greet me when I stroll in the side door rather than having a superannuated Calender full of beautiful 993 pics gather dust under a mattress!!
Btw , here's a wee peek at part of the business end of the garage .. No matter what mood I'm in that car and those posters pick me up and make me grin!!
So what have you guys done with your old Rennlist calendar!!?
I wish! ...That's the ONLY version I have; a teaser he sent in 2011 from the 2009 Parade.
I've asked a couple times since. His last reply: "I have a higher resolution version but would like to work on it more. Too many flaws in that one!"
