Taken 2 weeks ago
Photos taken after the winter "restoration" all cleaned up and ready to go to a PCA event!
![]() ![]() Stripped, polished and repainted wheels along with the center caps: ![]() Freshly Restored Leather thanks to Leatherique: ![]() ![]() Car is 95% original, I managed to save most of the original paint, just painted the nose to take care of the stone chips. Mechanically I removed the head, lapped the valves, replaced all the seals/gaskets. Replaced the timing belt and balance shaft belt along with all the front end seals which eliminated all the oil leaks. Then I cleaned, cleaned and cleaned some more: Thanks for all the help from you fellow Pelicans and to Wayne and the guys at Pelican Parts for the good service and help! Also a big THANK YOU to John at A Part Above for all the bits and pieces he provided. ![]() ![]()

My wheels are ROH Modenas: 245/35 on a 9x18 front, 295/30 on a 18x10.5 rear wheel. Forgot the offsets, but crazy: like 86mm front, 65mm rear or so.
They're three-piece made-to-order out of Australia: since sold: kinda wish I kept them, but replaced them with my black Fikse's on my 928-turbo

Also I'd loose the steering wheel for a original Porsche one, the front window sticker, the fog lights, front license plate, exhaust, (its just a little rice ish), and the interior door handles and speaker covers painted back to black. (Of course this is my own taste) Other than that.... ha. But seriously your paint looks very clean and does your dash have no cracks!!!!? Wow. lol. |
