It's 4 years since our last Porsche (2000MY 996 C2) was written off and we are now back in the game with a 1980 Lhd SC. i bought it from my boss who got it a year ago and sent it straight to a paint shop to have the red paint spruced up. After 12 months sat in the corner of the body shop, it's only part stripped and some of the paint has been taken off. He's bought a 356 now so needed to offload something.. Although buying a car that's basically a rolling shell with lots of crates of bits is a bit scary, I have the advantage of trusting the body shop guy and him telling me that the bodywork is really sound. You can buy a car that looks mint but not know what's under the paint until it bubbles to the surface!
Though I am usually a believer in keeping cars original, I plan to make a few changes to this one including changing the colour and the interior. I want to take my time with this one, strip it right down and make a nice job of every part going back on.
This could take me a couple of years, I need to keep motivated through the project so plan to update this thread as I go, hopefully with pictures if I can work out how to post pictures again.
