924 owner saying hello

[russmw]

Hi,

Having registered to reply to another thread it seems rude to not say hello.

I've had my 924 for 5 years after a spur of the moment Ebay purchase. Even though it had tax and MOT the car had clearly been neglected for some time so over the last 5 years I've pulled most of the car apart and cleaned or replaced\upgraded everything along the way. Now looking respectable and fun to drive

:welcome: to 911uk Russell.

There's a few of us on here that have/have had a 924.

I can't believe I sold mine 31 years ago.

Welcome. Car looks lovely. As a fellow 924 owner too I appreciate the hard work you must have put into getting it to look so great. Love the paintwork by the way!

Hi, cracking 924 you've sorted there lovely job , years ago my best mate had a midnight blue one & I drove it for a while, they're great to drive & handle really nice & predictable from memory. Still like them nowadays. :thumb:

Great colour combo.

Cheers everyone for the welcome 👍

The cars alpine white from factory but I fancied a change so vinyl wrapped the bottom half red as per the turbo two tone factory option. A few weeks locked away in the garage with a hairdryer and a few rolls of red vinyl gave the desired effect.

Totally reversible so I can put it back to factory which is important. Anything mechanical that's come off have also been polished to its a bit "blingy" under the bonnet.

Great to drive when I get the chance and makes the daily 3 series a bit dull/disconnected! Next outing in January for Bicester Sunday scramble.

Yes, warm welcome from another 924 owner (just keeping it warm you understand, for my son!). They're such a simple pleasure to drive and maintain. Enjoy.

Looking Good

Cheers everyone. I'm really impressed with the forum here, good to see it busy and not dying due to social media as per most other forums.

Few other pics - I've had moment when taking parts off that are aluminium and thinking 'that'll polish up well' which gets strangely addictive.

FB is quite comical sometimes when it comes to technical advice.
