MAF - Great work so far! Really looking forward to how this progresses given your OCD like attention to detail.

Also, once it is up and running we should get some track days booked up.

It's a 944, but a good attempt, however unsuccessful, at changing the drift direction.

There was an independent witness in your room and you told a number of people at breakfast - you almost put Newton off his full English. Almost. You were hardly discreet about the episode!

Hope your project turns out looking better than this appalling creation from Porsche.

Estimated to sell for £475k-575k. What drugs were they on?

Wow, that's a lot of cash for a 924! I'm hopeful I'll be able to create something better looking, no big plans to change bodywork etc. I shall be cracking on with the car on Sunday; the weather will determine either the engine coming out of the 944, or the dismantling and cleaning of already-removed parts. I'm a fair-weather car builder!

...quite a lot, after visiting the Porsche museum in Stuttgart last week!

...must add that I accompanied a old school friend that is a complete Porsche nutter, and I wore a T shirt with a massive Trident on the front, saved just for the occasion!

Bugger! This must be my most short-lived project - it's terminal and won't be completed. Somebody at some point has spent a lot of time and effort bodging the car and covering up some serious rot. If only they'd spent the same time repairing it properly! Outer and inner sills are definitely shot on one side, probably the other. The floor had a very nasty repair that crumbled when I touched it and the rear suspension pick up points aren't attached to the car!!

A few gory pics...
