Cheers, Paul

Excellent work, very impressive. Nice to see another 944 getting the treatment it deserves!

From this point forward, a proper as-new restoration should be referred to as The Full Ruddy.

Just to say I do add photos periodically as my pension arrives and I spend it on parts :D

This month after food shopping the pension was split between a pair of new drive shafts, new Hella side repeaters, PAS pump seal kit and a new Bosch fuel pump.....and a quick trip to Stuttgart for my birthday :bounce:

Check the link for updates

All the best, Paul

Hello gents, I've added a few new images to my Flickr page, hopefully wheels and tyres back this week , refurbished standard 15" Teledials with new Pirelli P6, the car left the factory on Pirellis (I have the build sheet).

Power rack is away being rebuilt as are the rear calipers.

New rad proved hard to find, zero stock off new standard rads in EU it would seem, a lot of suppliers try to send you one direct from the manufacturer....who haven't got any, plenty of S2/Turbo ones about, eventually got one from Miami, ordered 18:30 Monday in Cumbria, arrived 11am Wednesday in Cumbria, the bonus it was a genuine Porsche part at pattern price !

Fuel regulator and damper again came from the states, even with post and tax they were cheaper than the UK

My pension advisor tells me my pot is almost exhausted :D

All the best
