I have always had a interest to own a early 911 ,though have never realy had the spare cash to go out a buy one ... anyway 8 weeks ago a shape caught my eye in the back of a scrappy ... It looked like a prorky so I wondered over to have a closer look ... Yes it was a porky ... yes it was a pre-impact bumper model ..... yes it looked a complete mess ... it looked like it had been raped for all the expensive bits (no engine ,no wheels ,no glass.
so anyway went over to the owner to have a chat and asked what the deal was with the orange mess in the corner ,his reply was make us an offer .
Well we identified there was no paper work nor history .I went away with the vin number to do some checks and sleep on it .
That same afternoon I carried out a Vin check with HPI it came back as a 71" 2.2 911 with 3 previous owners ,there was nothing dodgy about the wreak.
Now how much should I pay ?
The next dat I went back to the scrappy ,the owner said before we start I have put it on ebay and if i was interested to have a bid.
Dam dam dam dam . I went away to watch it on screen get to about £800 in 2days . This car was going to go for a silly money ,I took another trip down to the scrappy and waved £1700 in front of him .... he sorta hesitated then took it .
Wooow I now own one .... might be a heap but I own one ....
As agreed it was to be delivered the following week , so preparation started I welded us a dolly cleared space in the garage .. and waited.

It arrived thankfully his highabb was working , he placed it straight on my dolly . I sat back and started to think what a mistake ......

The rip out starts ......
