Sexy curves

That's Spencer the uber-mechanic in the background, in his Porsche master-mechanic overalls. You can't meet enough highly skilled people in this game who also happen to be down to earth and really helpful...

Bad weld on guard replaced



Here's an indication of the finished quality to come. Jason thought the previous restoration wasnt up to scratch, so he cut out an old weld and then welded in a new strip section. Dead flat finish, no 'bog'. Awesome.

Racing drum brakes


There is such a thing. Or at least there was, back in the early 60's.

Boy's toys


Time for some much needed tinkering after being cooped (couped?) up in the city. Owning a Kombi seems to have left me with a love of German cars.

The black one is a 1963 Porsche 356 T6. The white one is a 1962 356 T5. A few bits from each and I should have a pretty nice daily driver in a few months.

Sambo.
