Hello! New Here

Hello everyone, I am finally getting around to a "proper" introduction. I have been quietly browsing the forums for some time now, and have asked a few questions, but I no longer want to be a stranger. The SC is my dad's car and T is mine, but we are working on it together. More of a father son project. Anyway, here they are...

The 83 SC actually has a pearl white paint. My dad purchased the car from a gentleman (2nd owner) who never drove it (has 48k miles), and he purchased it from the original owner. The car is a Euro model, and was brought to the states in summer of 1983.

The "other one" is a 1969 911T. Has the original 2.0 with a 4 speed gearbox. We got this from a guy who was planning on "updating with a cool whale tale". The picture does not show much, but have done A TON of work. Seeing as how we are typically on a budget, we do as much as we can ourselves.

Andrew

also, the color of the '69 is supposed to be Bahama Yellow, but the guy we picked it up from didn't do a very good job of color matching, so eventually that will be done.

Welcome Andrew, love the Cabriolet. I sold mine a few months back, but it was a dream car. I still have an orange coupe though
