Intro / New (Danish) guy on the forum.
Hi guys,
I am a brand new ”Rennlister”. Actually I have used Rennlist for many years, just to search for solutions on small Porsche related things… But now I’m a member.
I have always dreamt about owning a Porsche, but I live in Denmark, where the car taxes are extremely high (25% + 180% of the car value).
Well it all started in 2006, where I finaly found a matching numbers 911T from 1971 in Irish Green (original Light Ivory). It was pretty fine, but the ”magnet test” told me that there was some fiberglass and bondo in the body, but it was running, and I was happy… I finaly had a Porsche.
The carpets and the hood shelf was very damaged, so I decided to fix it… and then it started. I found rust! The firewall and the bottom of the rear seats was almost gone. I hate not to do things right, so I made a decision. I took the car completely apart,
I grinded/blasted the car down to bare metal inside, outside, underneath. All rust was fixed, by my friend who’s an expert with a welder.
I’m a detail freak, so I called a Doctor Something at the Porsche factory to get all details about products, types of nuts and bolts and the plating on the nuts and bolts. In that way I could make the car exactly like, when it rolled out from the factory.
Every nut and bolt were cleaned and gold or blue plated, like it was back in 1971, the chassis got the correct structure body spray, the Fuchs wheels were anodised, and painted correct, the interior was fixed with new leather, roof liner and carpets… and so on! Nothing left behind… The car was like new, after 1500-2000 hours of my time.
In 2013 I found a 912, with some weird G-model fiberglass body kit. I restored that as well. Not with the same detail as the 911T, because I wanted an outlaw look, with wide steel wheels and RS bumpers. Awesome fun car for everyday use!
In 2015, I had to move to a flat in the danish capital, in stead of a house in the suburbs, and I couldn’t find a place to park my cars… I couldn’t affort paying 900 Dollars every month for a garage, so I decided to sell the 911T, the 912, and my Audi UrQuattro..
I bought a 911 Carrera 3,6 Tiptronic (993) from 1994 in stead. Great car, and great for every day use. I love driving to work every day in that car.
I found the 993 i Germany. It was never driven in Germany. The dealer got it from Japan, where it has been the first 21 years of its life. Very taken care of, and every nut and bolt looks like new, and the interior looks like new.
Offcourse I miss my classics, but now I have a car that I can enjoy every day!

Hello Watson,
I wish you a hearty welcome to this forum, and thanks for the great pictures of your beautiful Porsches!
If you don't know him already, our friend Tore lives in Oslo, and is a great resource, especially on HVAC and all matters electronic. His web site is http://www.bergvillfx.com/
I had the pleasure of visiting your wonderful country a few years ago, Oslo and then a trip up through some back country to Flam and Oye, ending up in Bergen. Stunning scenery and very friendly people.
Again, a warm welcome to the 993 forum.

Hi Watson, I'm reading your post after just arriving in Copenhagen for one day before traveling on tomorrow. Soon after arriving at Norreport station I spotted a silver 993 driving down the street and it made me smile
