This is my full home build no professionals called in, (cant afford it)
Im doing everything down to every nut and bolt, i did all the wiring, welding, painting, upholstery, engine, etc the whole nine yards i started in 2011 i think, im still working on her today :( Cos its taking me so long i bought another 911 a Carrera 996 for my daily driver until my mistress is finished.. Cant wait :):)

Was a CAB Conversion, i took it upon myself to put her back to how she left the factory or as close as i could with my limited experience, (no experience)
But you have to start somewhere and with a lot of postings here i started.

Love the before/after by BFT. For any project, It's so damn satisfying taking that after shot and then putting them side by side.
