New car!

This is the much talked of '64. I made the decision today to go ahead with this one and scrap my '68. Apart from new doors wings and paint, there's little to do other than fit my engine, a few accessories and give the interior a good scrub. Watch this space!

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel ,Canon EF 24mm f/2.8
1/60s f/4.0 at 24.0mm iso1600 (y'gotta love ISO 1600!) full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Oh, the bumpers were too rusty to save. I'm having them replaced with normal ones...!

Good Luck. Mine had this style of bumper.

Congratulations - I've been there - made a complete restoration job on a '77 model, incl. new engine which I had to order from Germany.
Hope you got all the time in the world for this one - have fun !!

Too bad - the eyelids are going... they hide the early Porsche 911 headlights!
