    Hi Ron

    I will be attending Ballynahinch on the 17th now that you have reminded me
    Yes have obtained another 2 for restoration .It is an 88 white (not for long) sunroof model with blue interior.It needs 2 front wings which i have now got and the usual back arches done .I have went round it and it also needs some welding but nothing found to date that cant be fixed , the engine is purring and has a full history from new every little detail has been listed.Roberta has claimed it as hers so sit back and wait as from the talk it is going to stand out in the crowd when finished LOL.
    When i get the bits together i will start a restoration thread for all to see
    Will be in touch before the 17th

    just waiting for some quotes on a bit of welding on humphry , but have the porsche up and running, my dad died last week after a long battle with cancer so it has been difficult to concentrate on anything else over the last year but now he is at peace i hope to get all the things done that didnt seem to be that important at the time

    he was 83 so had a full life and left many happy memories, and the posey pasta car doesnt hold a candle to the " wedge"

    thanks for that mark , hope to see you all soon , i will be getting rid of the porsche soon to put the money towards doing a full restoration on humphrey with a full respray. i wonder if i should drop the engine and get it rebuilt while i am at it? incidentally i became a dad 10 weeks ago , not bad for a 50 year old, and the perfect example of the balance of life, my new arrival followed by my dads passing
