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..

Finally - Fuchs are sorted

OK, great - I've found someone! His name is Biagio, and he specialises in wheel restorations - mainly Porsche wheels of all ages. We agreed on a price and a time frame, but it's still going to take a couple of months. Not what I was hoping, but I really don't have much choice at the moment. They're being fabricated in a TUV certified factory in Germany and so should be safe and well balanced. They're over budget and will delay the project by a month or so, but at least they'll look the business. I'm giving him the old wheels to offset the cost of the new ones (slightly). In the mean time, I'll keep on looking for the rare chrome window surrounds.
