Busybee Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 More flipping polishing. Final wipe down then two coats of feynlab ceramic. To be honest, I’ve really enjoyed it. I’d say maybe 15 or so hours of work. Car looking so much cleaner. Bet I’ve gained a bit of slipperiness too eh WC? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busybee Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Sorry fellas, I’m immune. You could tell me toffee holds the thing together and I couldn’t care less. When she fires up I’m 18 again. It’s bottled youth this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bernau Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I guess it must be about 10 years since the full repaint. Do you have the massive history file I gave to Alex? There are lots of large bills from the past in there. The stuff that is wrong - the roof was warped a little when the sunroof delete panel went in and the stickers on each side are different. Now that you know, you will look at it and go "oh yeah". It also has an early drivers door without the side impact bar - for extra LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have spent a small fortune on the car over the years. Ahh the roof bump, yup, spotted that when I first had the car. Stickers. Nope, straight past me that one. Drivers door, no idea lol. It's looking tip top now with a bit of ceramic on it and with all the stone chips filled in. Luckily, exact same shade of red as my Targa (which I have a tin of paint for left over from the restoration a few years back). Already have my mate Al's Cayman in the workshop for a polish and ceramic. This could be my new gig! lol Honestly love your work with this car. It's just perfect at what it does. I look at it and think it could do with a few more ponies sometimes but then again, I'm probably only using 70% of the car as it stands. It can carry so much corner speed. A few track lessons might be a far better investment for me. Plus it looks cool as ****! lol Found myself watching Doc's Peloton video again the other day just to see the car take some hairpins and on full chat from the outside. #Saddo What I need in the collection now is a Guards red Boxster Spyder and my porsche life will almost be complete.

If you mot it and service it I bet you’ll find the occasional hour to get a blast in. Getting it road ready is the key. Are you coming to the Alps in June?

Still too much stone, beams, general building stuff lying around for me to get it into my unfinished cave, would love to have it home as I have a few lightweight bits to fit Would love to join in, especially as RB puts on such a good trip but I'm afraid I won't be this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bernau Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Found this, back in the day on 15s, std torsion bars, big rear ARB and PZeroCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bernau Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 And this one at a soaking Silverstone. Shortly before aquaplaning and spinning about 8 times. Somehow missed a Marshall post once I got on the grass. Went home afterwards. On 16x7/9 with 225/245 road tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
