Re: 1.9 KCC 356 Porsche Speedster
Right then, as much as this may pain me, and on the off chance that i'm forced to sell by little red monster, knowing it should be going to a good home, would anyone here ever be interested. I'm not forced to at this stage, but may be in the near future.

Re: 1.9 KCC 356 Porsche Speedster
Need to source another car. My issue is that the missus needs one to tow the horses around. Hopefully find a 10th hand landy to do that. I need one for work, and i need a 3rd. Having the Porsche as the 4th is a little crazy, as much as it pains me.

Re: 1.9 KCC 356 Porsche Speedster
Not sure really. Need to tie up the loose ends, so to speak, get a roadworthy and take it from there. Realize i'll probably loose on it with the money that has gone in, but have to be realistic too.

Re: 1.9 KCC 356 Porsche Speedster
Ok, after much thought, laziness, 2 children, work, house and all that it seems selling the speedy is becoming the only option. Reality is I've done nothing in the past few months on the car and can really do with the money. She's still not finished, but not far off. I'm gonna carry on and get her done the way I expect her to be finished, but if anyone is interested before I get there, please pm me. I won't be giving her away, not after the work that went in, anyone who followed the thread knows what's been done, and if you need info, give me a shout!
Interior is in, needs a few more things done, soft top etc. Motor still has about 20 kms on her, started every month though and run. Actually, the entire car since rebuild has 20 km on it. Disc brakes up front....just check the thread. I'll supply a list of what she still needs.
Open to honest offers before complete, or I'll finish It and sell completely complete
Sad day indeed, but there will be gonzo 2 one day!

That is sad to hear RA. I really love that car. The stance and colour is just perfect.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Re: 1.9 KCC 356 Porsche Speedster
Yeah G, the little bit of time i thought i had went out the window with the new addition. Itt kills me to sell, but have to be realistic too.....if i dont get near what i want though, wont be selling....i'll just throw a few mothballs in and lube up the motor for future reference
. It's still garaged, so can just rest there for a few years if nobody wants it now.
