Devoted to the 911

March 20, 2010

This month’s Total 911 magazine features an ImpactBumpers.com forum member’s car, in a focus on the 3.2 Carrera. IB regular Chris Hak’s Grand Prix White beauty is detailed in a set of studio pictures shot by Tom Wood, and very nice it is too. Good work Chris!

Later Carrera models have jacking points fitted front and rear, to help get the car off the ground at tyre depots and on two-post garage lifts.

Nick Moss at Early 911 has just sent through some interesting pictures of a 3.2 Carrera he is currently backdating for a customer. The car was bought as a badly done backdate and handed over to Nick to correct. As with most RHD cars now, rust had taken hold in the classic spots and needed [...]

Lights, Varmint, Action!

December 16, 2009

I won some Cibies on eBay at the weekend and they arrived today. They were last used on a Cortina GT rally car and are absolutely MINT! I am over the moon with them. Back in my day, Cibies were the lights you wanted on your car, as all the rally boys had them and [...]
