Apologies to everyone who's sent me a PM
Sorry, I've only just realised I've received some, some date back to 2001!!!!
 Anyway here is some images of my 912e, I've fitted it up with some 16'' rims as recommended by Coldbass, cheers, best thing I've done and it handles a whole lot better.    That's the Derbyshire country side in the background, its still winter here. |

16's all round, 6'' up front 7'' back 205x55s all round, Dunlops.
Had to slightly roll rear arch lip to stop slight chaffing, took about 30mins with an old hand rail. |

It was imported about 3-4 years ago with a stash of Karmann Ghias and early 911. I bought it of the guy that imported it, so I'm its first UK owner, as far as I know there are 6 possibly 7 912e's here in the UK.
I've had it repainted since, still Grand Prix white, after a pair of ladders fell off a mates Land Rover onto my roof. The guy who took care of it did a great job, he normally restores Rollers and Bentleys, so the Porsche was abit of a come down for him  I've got the original Cali' blue number plate, I'll post its number when I get back from work and see if any here recognises it! |

Cheers, I had just cleaned it tho!
I've been using it all year round for the past 3 years whatever the weather, I've only just managed to turn it into a 3rd car. It was just too damn expensive to run to and from work, we pay quite abit more in fuel over here than you guys. I plan to detail/polish the fuchs this summer, that'll be fun by hand! |
