Jcijoe - Great looking car, thanks!

Grizzly - thats just too cool, love the garáge too, whats the project in the lower left? I have a 3 month project that is still ongoing after 2 years

Rick3000 - those tops look really good but I think the shipping to the UK would negate the great price.

Noone986s,

Good eye. It's a '67 912. I have two of them in different states of disassembly, but they're both on hold for the forseeable future, because I just got started on this...



This is my first car. I drove it to high school and college. My Dad bought it for me 29 years ago.

Thanks for the compliment on the garage. Its remodel was something I was looking forward to showing off, but my never ending stream of hopeless projects keeps messing it up before I can take decent pictures. Here are a couple that were taken before it was really finished...

Good lord that is a cool set up. I have an old austin mini wedged in next to the boxster and would love a garage like that. The land to build it over here would be worth so much you would just build a house on it.

It's not the perfect set-up, but I'm certainly grateful for it. We were adding to an existing garage on a pretty tight lot, so the space I ended up with is long and narrow. I have to park the cars behind one another, so when I want to get something out, it can be quite a juggling act. Here's one more...



By the way, I love the old Minis. What cool cars. I've had a number of Brits, but never a Mini.

nice setup - even have Vin on the flatscreen. Do you have a continuous running Fast & the Furious loop to keep you motivated in the garage?

Nope, just wearing my heels.

My secret weapon... the stairs! See them over there on the left? I prefer low angles, but it's nice to see something different once in a while.

Well I have ordered mine now, should be 5 days or so for them to refurb and paint it. I am having KW coilovers installed next week too so will post some new pics when it is all done.

Cheers

Send a message via MSN to Gerardo de Kort
here's mine

Thinking about removing the soft top altogether (mechanism is currently broken).
My fear is that if I do it I'll never get around to fixing it.
And it looks so cool when you're lowering the top (with the rear flap lifting up).
