I hope your playlist has some suitable New Romantic and a smidge of Hair Rock happening...?

You know me so well.  I thought Vienna by Ultravox was the right choice as I left Deniliquin - Deni being the Vienna of the Riverina…

One must of course plug any 930 gap in the garage.

what’s the history?  When and where was it nose-Flattened?

I’m not usually a big fan but I do like the front end treatment on this one-  a lot more subtle.

 

A man saw a slant nose in a magazine and the rest was history. He bought a 79 930, bought a slant body shell that had received a rear end whack, bought a G50 - gave the lot to a shop and they had at it. Full mechanical rebuild, full paint, full interior and engine by Figaret (ex Kremer) with lots of tasty bits. I’m having to undo some 90’s interior styling choices but otherwise it’s excellent.  Current 17” wheels are temporary until I can get some 16” gold mesh 3 piece wheels widened and restored.

The more retro porno the better. What a find, the seller would have struggled to find someone more appreciative of it's potential than you - dare I say "thank lord that someone is saving the badass slantnoses!"

I'm not normally a fan of the Flachbau, but this one looks right 🙂 

I’m hearing that a lot lately!

Not what you’d expect to find on your annual Ute muster trip 🤗  

I need to see this one soon, the prophecy has finally been fulfilled! 

Coffee machine is always on sir, although  my latte art sucks…

Lots of long boring straights, mostly tarred but back roads are unsealed and treacherous when wet.  It’s where I tipped over my Datto 1600.   Car club track is also dirt.  Lived there 4 years never saw a Porsche.  Years later I saw an adv. for a red 930 there.  Wonder if that was the donor car for your slopey.

Didn't Autohaus Hamilton find a 1975 930 for Magnus Walker out that way? 

That came from Yass. There’s an episode of Selling Houses Australia where it’s briefly visible in an outbuilding of the property they bought it from.
