[pablo]

Could you knock up some options for the side stickers please @Rocko ? Martini option and a Porsche option?

 

[stevyg]

& a Rothmans option!

This is turning very quickly from a banger rally in to a distinguished country jaunt with all the fixing. Our first banger rally was done with no indicators, exhaust or working drivers door, and we were slightly further away than omagh

Have you checked the Speedo cable is attached to the wheel ok? Look under the dust cover. Hopefully it's that wheel bearing you need to do, that would make it handier

 

[pablo]

Need to get in and have a look mark. Diff wheels unfortunately.

With the Porsche decals on the doors done in the same style

 

[pablo]

drain holes all cleared, I was driving it yesterday and could hear the water sloshing around at the scuttle panel level. then it started coming down over my feet which wasnt too pleasant. So about 10 years of crud removed and the engine bay given a good clean with APC. Ill pop a pic up later.

@Woodcutter also managed to get his hands dirty and change the oil in her. So nice fresh oil and filter now installed.

Speed cable is snapped at the dash end so new cable required. Porsche labelled cable 23quid. VW version with same part number 13quid.

tonight will see the box oil changed. 3L to go in lol. cant wait! And if Ive time Ill sort the radio which was wired by Stevie Wonder.

 

[Rocko]

This ones a bit different on the sides.

Or orange

Simple Rothmans

Or light blue respray with orange accents and Gulf stickers.

 

[pablo]

simpler the better really as it will put back to original after and up for sale most likely.

its put me in the notion for one but think Id go 944 S2/Turbo instead.

 

[Rocko]

Simplest would be Rothmans or Martini.

Something about that blue one though

 

[pablo]

agreed - its pretty cool.

 

[Rocko]

Sorry

 

[Gobsheene]

With that Frost wrap that should be a gift to do

 

[Gavlar]

Rothmans livery seems to compliment the cars lines better

 

[Rocko]

I'm just messing now.

 

[WSK]

I think that Rothmans pic up there is pretty cool and handy removed again etc.. Then again doesnt Woodcutter sell the spray wrap

Looks like good cheap fun either way

 

[pablo]

its time really Keith. to do a whole car would take a while and cost wise its not worth it really when its coming off again after the rally.

 

[Gobsheene]

Blue Emulsion then.... have it done in 15 mins and will come off after the 1st rain shower

How did it pass MoT with a broken speedo

Must have been one of those famous Balmoral certs when the car never even visited the centre
Either that or the dude didn't notice the lack of needle movement as it rolled through the test centre.
