AdRock Posted 24April, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 24April, 2018 Manual and Guards Red. There were a few things that attracted me to the car... one was it's history, which resonates with me. The owner is great guy - I really enjoyed chatting with him and hearing about all of the work that has been put into the car over the years. The car is apparently very low mileage - however I'm yet to confirm that - I'm just going on the owner's word. The price was something I could not pass up. There are other aspects of the car that still might come back to bite me - but I was prepared to take a gamble based on what I saw and the fact that I believe the owner was truly genuine. I hope that I'm not proven wrong. I will spill my guts about the entire story on Saturday night. With a truck load of photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdRock Posted 28April, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 28April, 2018 1983 911 Manual Cab. What a day!! Imported from Japan approx 10 years ago. 88000km's apparently. Gorgeous car. Needs quite a bit doing... mostly interior and electrics due to L to R conversion. Still needs to be engineer certified and RWC before I can go for a spin - but here's hoping drive day isnt too far away! One happy little vegemite over here....

AdRock Posted 29April, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 29April, 2018 Hey everybody... I've started up a 'build thread'. Please check it out over here: Thanks again to everybody for their input on how I could find my first Porsche! In the end - I found it through my wanted ad on Gumtree! So, despite me bagging Scumtree in a previous post, it ended up coming through with the goods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
