Newish member ...
I have lurked for a while and thought I'd better introduce myself and my car.
She's a 1977 911S with a 2.7. They are Carrera 3.2 rear guards. There's some suspension work and the wheels are 16 x 7's and 8's. The colour is VW Jazz Blue. I live in Melbourne, Australia. At 41 I'm still a lawyer as I dont have any other life skills. As you can see, the old dear has been pushed outside so that my boys can play in the new toy in the garage. I have developed a mild addiction to reading this forum and have started ordering parts ... Regards, Steve

Welcome! Great car and kids too! You Aussies have the nicest weather and all the nice blue 911's! You should do a search for "fishcop" he has a beauty as well.

Thanks very much for the welcome guys.
Ulrich, the colour is not metallic. Just a very bright and deep blue a little like French Blue a la Bugatti. I bought the car from my mechanic, Mike Jacobson and his wife Lisa from Spyder Automobiles in Melbourne. He and Lisa's father, the late John Gregory, put it together after it was converted to RHD from a USA import. The other extras listed by Mike are as follows:- Factory options: adjustable intermittent wipers L and R rear view mirrors sunroof Factory short gearshift Front mount oil cooler Additions: Matched set of 7" and 8" x 16" Fuchs wheels 3.2 Carrera rear flares 3.2 Carrera spring plate covers revalved Koni red rear shockers revalved Koni Sport externally adjustable front strut inserts Harness bar Spyder strut brace with diagonal supports through body front sway bar 18mm rear sway bar 3.0L Turbo steering wheel turbo tie rods passive 3 point immobiliser anti-dive front suspension geometry green cotton air cleaner element I love it. Standing on the gas in third is true on the spot fine and loss of licence material. As for a career change, I don't think we have an "Outback Steakhouse" here in Oz. It is too dangerous in the outback due to herds of violent kangaroos and crocodiles that roam there so none of us Australians actually dare leave the cities to venture into the wild. Steve |

Beautiful car! I believe it's Jazz Blue (a VW color). The metallic paint in this color is Nogaro Blue (Audi color).
