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..

First coat of paint is on!

While I was away on holiday, Mark and Angela sent some pictures through of the latest progress on the conversion. They sent the pictures at 11:30pm, so Mark truly is working night and day to get her ready on time for the Cannonball 8000 rally. As you can see from the pics, a huge amount of progress has been made in the last week. All of the wings and bumpers are lined up, the primer is down, and now also the first coat of orange. All of the rusty sections have been removed and replaced with new parts, the underside has been waxed and sealed up. Putting all of the parts back together can take much longer that you might think Mark warned me though. Andy has quoted me on the last few parts I need to source - exhaust, chrome wing mirrors, and door cards. It's all coming together!
