Hello and welcome to 'myrsr.com'. This online diary details our project of buying a crappy '80s Porsche 911 and turning it into a beautiful replica 1973 911 RSR, before driving it halfway across Europe on the Cannonball 8000 rally. Well, keeps us out of trouble..

Getting the donor car


We found a car up north somewhere.. It had 120K on the clock, but had an engine rebuild done around 100K. The body was a little rotten, but we weren’t too bothered about that as it can be sorted out during the project. It was important that the mechanics were OK mainly, and apart from a rough clutch it wasn't too bad. It did however have blacked out windows - my god, get them off now!!

OK, so this is the plan…

Buy a knackered old Porsche 911, get it backdated to a 1973 Porsche 911 RSR look-a-like, take it on the 2007 Cannonball 8000 rally across Europe and raise money for Cancer Research UK… Easy huh?!
