Don't know if anyone is reading this part of the forum but I have another update!

Car is rebuilt and mobile again, panel repairs being done tomorrow and then it's off to paint the next day.

Starting to get excited now!

We'll definitely be at Gaydon with it, hopefully the cream tea run depending on the previous night's event!

Probably bring the boys out to the New Forest BBQ too.

The car is now painted and being re-assembled today. Testing tomorrow and then it's machine polishing to the rest of the car that's not been painted. Still on track for the end of the week to have it back.

just let me know when you want the bodyshop swirls & marring removing :)

on another note...

mines got a little issue;

got the following error messages weds PM.

Brake system failure
PSM failure
4wd system failure
check engine
start stop deactivated.

sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders rather than 8...

So, collected via flat bed recovery...
had a call from Porsche assistance - who have been fantastic - to say that the recovery truck had broken down, and as such couldn't deliver the car to the garage !
Finally arrives at the garage today aparantly

bloody cars....
