Long term project not so speedy

[Starkeywin]

My long term project is not a muscle car, its a sports car; a 1957 RHD Porsche Speedster. My HZ Sandman ute has already pressed into service as a parts runner for this old Porsche. I love my V8's and have a late SSV Redline and the HZ Sandman Ute, but also have an MGB and the Porsche... I just love them all (and have a very understanding wife).
The Porsche has been off the road 40 years (dismantled and most parts were in the shed) and was left as a rolling shell out in the open in bare metal (uncovered for 35 years). It's amazing but when I had it dipped the fine layer of rust over the whole car had "protected" the base metal. It's a wonderful body and the dippers were amazed at its condition. Still a lot of work to get it finished..................................
