1981 F.A.S.T. 911 TURBO restoration

Engine removal

I inherited the unfinished respray project. in July 2014.....
after the car had sat for 3 years in a bodyshop.

It soon became clear my friend's 930 needed more than just a respray :)

Can't deny it 'll be satisfying putting it back on the road! Will be watching with interest.
 
Removing the heart of the car was a satisfying job.

My first ever 911 motor job and it happens to be my dream car since childhood :)

Engine transferred to Porsche Sheffield

After splitting the engine and gearbox, my VW Caddy MK1 wheelchair access van came in real handy for the next phase.....
