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.....
