Hi all, not been on for a while.
A few weeks after I went out to buy new number plates for the old girl, I looked in the garage to find the old girl listing badly at the rear to the passenger side - arhhhh.....broken torsion bar!
I purchased the original number plate for the car off the seller after I declined his excessive price on purchase. 2 years later and A911 AHL is mine for good and the price more reasonable. Out of interest does the registration jog any memories?
So back to the car, I have just had her taken to BS motorsport who are based between Aylesbury and Bicester. They are clearly Porsche crazy and have some amazing pieces of metal in storage and in the workshop. Well worth a trip and maybe an R21 outing?
New torsion bars (Neil Bainbridge suggested I update to turbo size bars) are in but the bush arms need replacing...ouch. Work to exhaust and engine out to sort oil leaks and refurb the gearbox later this week, more ouch.
Neil has suggested the bodywork is done by Auto Umbau in Silsoe in Beds. Has anyone had experience of them? I am going the whole hog and getting the glass out for a full respray and body work dealt including large rusty hole behind the driver side sill cover discovered last week!
I will take some photos and publish if people are interested. Any comments appreciated.
Thanks
James
