Thanks again David and Garry for meeting up, running with me and making it a really memorable trip. I'll definitely shout out when next passing. We should all do that ;-P

Seems a shame to leave that last dent in the front lower panel, surely it would have been easy to knock that out?

I don't think it is a dent but moulded like that for the jack carrier attachment on the inside of that panel (looking at my inside boot photos). I rushed the photos under very harsh side lighting which doesn't help at all and didn't intend to publish them for scrutiny but to simply mark the visit to check her out. Steve snd I went over her in detail snd I'm stoked with their work. Not long now.

No offence intended.

And if what you reckon about values becomes true then even more resin to own 993 so it can be driven without fear. Otherwise they are just antiques sitting in the shelf. If you had really wanted the 3.6t it would be in your garage I reckon :-) John. Richard is loving his GT3 but London isn't the best place for these cars. If you can get you head over the "aircooled is better because it's purer" thing then there is an interesting world if new and used GT3 turbo and Cayman etc options out there. Without doubt the new GT3 is as close to an everything car Porsche have yet produced....till the next one!!
Just checked, Richard is from Leicestershire. I would use a NZ analogy, but I'm sure to offend someone's home town. All indications are that he is a true enthusiast, which is good, because picking the car up from CCS had me beaming within a few hundred metres. The thought of it become a static collector display isn't something I want to think about.

Just spent four days stripping cedar joinery back to bare wood and painting it. Renovation is the last thing on my mind right now but taking some of your ideas away up North to mull over. BBQ when we get back.

You should get some of the new fangled alloy joinery stuff John. It's quite good these days
