An Introduction

Sorry I have been posting on here for some months but have not formally introduced myself. I am Jerry Smith from Missouri and I originally aquired my 911 in 1982 as a stolen car that was recovered and resurrected by me and a close friend Ed in Hawaii. It took some 3 years to get the car drivable and has been a project car ever since.
This is where I got



This!



And is now looking like this




while it is getting makeover number 2 I always wanted a cabriolet and will eventually get the turbo motor back together with lots of modern upgrades. Thanks to all and Merry Christmas

That was a HUGE amount of work you undertook to resurrect the dead!

Congrats on your completion of it- it looks stunning!

Keep posting on your "phase 2"

Islandmanpa your thread on seat replacement gave me the idea for my new seats to replace those old recaro seats I had since 82. They are comfortable!
