UPDATE
It seems as though like many threads on here, photobucket has taken my build thread down the drain and I have lost 9 pages of photos. To sum it up the photos were of component repair and other pretty uninteresting stuff. If you skip to page 9, it all resumes!

Update
Hello Chaps,
I haven't been on here much recently but thought perhaps I should throw this up on here. I've always suffered with the detailing side of things but do enjoy looking through here at other people's efforts.
I wanted to share with you my Porsche. For as long as I can remember I have been infatuated with Porsches, mainly the aircooled 911 but you may have noticed, they're darn expensive! The later water cooled 911's are a lot more affordable, still super expensive but they just don't seem to do it for me totally. I have looked at a lot of 996s, especially with the Gt3 areo pack but IMS, RMS, Bore score, they're all things that scare me! Anyway, I have also had my eye out for a replacement retro for the past few months since I took my Mk2 Cooper off the road but nothing had taken my fancy.
It all started on the bank holiday, I was laid in bed the Monday evening and thought I would have a browse through a few forums classified adverts. The first advert I saw was just 3 minutes old and was for a 944 and it was within budget. I jumped out of bed before realising that it probably wasn't a practical idea, however after my better half asking what I was so excited about she told me I would be a fool not to go and at least look at it. 5 minutes later I had spoken with the owner and we had arranged to go and have a look the following evening.
The advert showed this...
A very faded 944, sat for 3 years after the owner had passed away. I was a little apprehensive about what to expect, but quite excited at the same time.
I will update shortly what happened next.
