The mechanical restoration is complete

The mechanical work is completed and the car is registered and roadworthy and today I took it to the panel beaters to have the phoney 928S bits removed and restore the body to the true 1979 style.
I have purchased the Pascha interior material from Germany and spent yesterday in Melbourne having Gary Blackman Trimming go over the car to quote on restoring the interior they will need the car for about 2 weeks to complete the restoration.
So 2 weeks at the painters and then 2 weeks at the trimmers and its all complete.

The car has been registered for a week and I have driven it about 1000kl it drives beautifully and the ride and handling are first class there has only been a few small problems speedo failed and the amplifier was causing a very loud noise intermittently the speedo was easy the plug came apart enough for the electrical circuit to brake it's fixed but I will get the later model plug that clips together and needs to be manually unclipped to separate.
The amplifier has been disconnected and we will search the internet for a wiring diagram and then try again but at the moment it works quite well unamplified through the front speakers.
