  2. I'm fairly confident that I will never own an 80's Porsche 911. So when I decided to repaint my Supersport my decision making process went like this-
    I own a very original 92 851. Classic red and white.
    My 900ss is a bitsa.
    I think this gives me the excuse to do something different with the colour.
    I started looking at 70's and 80's 911 colours.
    I've settled on Casablanca Beige Metallic, used on the 911 in 1979 and 1980.
    I'm planning on using all the correct decals, so essentially swapping the red for the Casablanca.
    It might look turd! We'll soon find out.
     
  3. Man, I love it! It's going to be distinct to say the least.:)
    I thought you might be heading for the shade on the Ducati in the coco advert with Keira Knightley...:upyeah:

  4. I've been on the lookout for a pair of alloy straight through low mount exhausts for a while. I managed to pick these up for under £150 including delivery. I hope you can tell which one has had a dose of elbow grease. I'm thinking of thinning out my exhaust collection. PXL_20240902_163733735.MP.jpg PXL_20240902_163809014.MP.jpg

  6. Sadly not! Which in a way is fine, because I'm dragging my heals with the finishing touches.
     
  7. ^saw the ebay listing and was tempted to have then as spares, glad they've gone to a good home.

  8. Has anyone got a coffin type brake master cylinder for a 900ss that they'd like to sell to me?

  10. ^ seriously?, I've got an old one ss bar clamp if you want it FOC.
     
  11. Really? Mega, thank you. An early 90's 900ss front brake master cylinder? I gave mine away tears ago. Which I now obviously regret!
     
  12. Interesting (scary?) how automatic correction on our devices can also do Freudian leaps…

    « Years »… « Tears »?

    :D

  14. Hi, thank you for the offer. I really need the rest of it though. So I'll pass. I do have a pair of 916/748 master cylinders. So I'm not without.
