Spotta Posted 25October, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 25October, 2020 Hello, Been a couple of weeks due to a lot of kids sport and other commitments but work has not stopped by any stretch. Some update photos. But I have accepted the fact Christmas wont happen. I cant get a painter that works by the same time frame that I want to. So we will have to keep making progress until the painter is ready. Carrera28, P-Kay and tomo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotta Posted 24November, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 24November, 2020 Hello all, I am sure you all thought the project was on the back burner but there has still be some movement. Unfortunately my expertise does not lie in panel work and its been some slow progress. I am currently trying to secure someone to paint the car. So if anyone knows someone who can help, I would be happy to ship to Victoria etc. I am also now waiting on my gearbox and engine. I have a feeling they may not be ready by Christmas unfortunately. I will continue to plug away until I can get the car painted and get and engine and gearbox in it. Aside form that I am very happy with how it is looking and am confident it is going to turn out ok. If I don't post again until next year, I hope everyone has a safe and merry festive season. RwGreeny, JV911, GTP911 and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Luzzo, Ok, so this will create some controversy I am sure. It is guards red, or Indischrot or India red. Whatever you would like to call it. But the original mix code for my car is 027. I have used the Indischrot mix code of 84A. Its the current day Indischrot/Guards red. luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don’t think I will bring it out in public until spring. Winter is getting close and rather than rush I will take the winter to finish it properly. I don’t generally drive any of my cars in winter at the best of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
