So never been welded etc or restored ?Yes It is , i had the ziebart rust treatment done as well, in late 1983 i called into falcon exhaust in taunton i was on the way home with no passengers on my coach, and i bought a stainless steel exhaust for the car £119.50 including securicor delivery, i was shown around the factory as they were making a batch for the RS and i got it a few weeks later, it was fitted november 83 and is as good as new today.

Nice workmanship .. . Are you a body man ?Sold this a couple of years ago: 1934 Triumph Gloria. A big car for a (I think) 1274cc engine: overhead inlet and side exhaust IIRC, as per Rover and Royces of the period:

Sorry, it's incredibly messy there! Yes, main business is restoring early 911 shells, hence the forum name. The vintage thing is more of a hobby but is lovely to work with nice new metal I have to say: it's all much more civilised. Not only that but they were designed to be pretty much handmade, unlike the Porsches which involve lots of patterns and hammer-forming to make repair panels.Nice workmanship .. . Are you a body man ?
Liking your work. My sis had one of the last 993 targas and she was gutted when she had to sell it . . They only going up in valueSorry, it's incredibly messy there!
