tazzieman Posted 12March, 2016 Report Share Posted 12March, 2016 Crowd fund your ATO bill! There are some PFAers with evidently deep money bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 12March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12March, 2016 I'm sure there is mate, yet I'd never accept a cent without selling something, or working for it On a side note, I've fitted the new carbs yesterday and get it running tomorrow, with a view to send it to Buik Motorworks within a week or so.I may also be ordering some new bits for it when I can, such as a decklid grille, new rear Porsche badge and some license plate lamps, as I'm not happy with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 12March, 2016 Report Share Posted 12March, 2016 I'd never accept a cent without selling something, or working for itI know a few people who are fascinated by working - they can sit back and watch it for hours. Some of these people are quite wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, another gent who happened to be at Buiks the same time as I was showing Steve (the above poster). Steve should come clean with what he is building at the moment too. Not many of them around!

turboT Posted 12April, 2016 Report Share Posted 12April, 2016 Well done Lee. Sad, but must be a load off. Now when are you going to start the thread 'my new 911?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert930 Posted 12April, 2016 Report Share Posted 12April, 2016 Hey Lee, I trust it's gone to a good home, at the risk of being belted senseless....I can recommend 928 ownership as footloose and fancy free Since we chatted last time, I'm still blown away at the coincidence of this, here is how I've seen it2 Black 912 1966 cars, both LHD US cars, both end up in Australia, both restored, both a few digits apart on their serial numbers, both advertised at the same time, for similar money, and from what I heard from my mate that owns the one in QLD, also recently sold........did a butterly flap it's wings in sequence somewhere in the Amazon recently?? LOLGood luck with your next adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 12April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2016 Well done Lee. Sad, but must be a load off.Now when are you going to start the thread 'my new 911?'Patience grashopper It is sad (awaiting deposit confirmation) yet as ya know, it has to happen@Robert930It is one last number from ya mates car, so mine was probably looking at the other ones arse! Mine was $10k cheaper too, as I went over it thoroughly, and in my opinion was priced a bit too high928's aren't in my sights bud (I do like them though) and there is a later 911 waiting for me, so I won't be without a Porsche It was quite a bizarre experience at Buiks yesterday, as I had met new PFA member Steve there to look at my car and have a chat. We saw the Martini replica arrive (I lost my shit as I do with silver Porsche's! ) so we went and had a look at it. Craig at Buiks then told me a gent was asking for my contact details, as he saw my car there, so I went and had a chat and showed him around the car. He knew my car pretty well, as he has followed my build (I can't remember if it was on here or Facebook etc) I then gave him my bottom price which was agreed on, and details were exchanged. A very nice bloke who has owned an older 911 before, and I noticed his last name, which turns out I knew his brother well when I worked at Mitsubishi. Weird, but thats Adelaide for ya! As I say, I'm just awaiting deposit confirmation, and Buiks are doing a pre rego inspection check to ensure everything works correctly, then I will be installing some new bits and getting it registered for the new owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 12April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2016 That it is mate, as its been a journey I won't forget in a hurry (good and frustrating), though as Harvs mentioned, one door closes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 12April, 2016 Report Share Posted 12April, 2016 Well done, Lee. Your hard work is someone else's reward. It must be relief for you. Now, the replacement......I'm not very patient or good at keeping secrets Don't keep us hanging too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 12April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2016 Cheers Harvs. I dare say I'll not undertake another project like that again, yet I've learnt a fair bit about cars over the 3 years, so it has been beneficial for the future if I need to do a few things. All I hope is that the new owner will drive it and enjoy it for what it is, yet I'm sure he will. Glad he has bought it, and I'm happy to help him out in the future if required. Mate, I'm busting to reveal all about the new one, yet I'll wait until it is paid for and in my shed, as I don't want to jinx myself ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
