Default Making Space for the Crossfire

Since my Crossfire is my daily driver I have had to hold off on some of the bigger plans I have for it, most of which will require it to be off the road for a while. So I an now concentrating on getting this back on the road to fee up some space:

very handsome. That's when they were business-serious speed weapons.
Not so bloated and over-leathered like today.
You need to find yourself a fine used esprit- nothing is as sweet for the lolly...

I wish! Its only a 'T' with lightweight RS panels (if I ever get then to fit)!

V12: I agree with you on the modern bloated 911's. Interestingly I was speaking to a guy at the track last week and he had sold his 996 and gone back to a 964RS for that reason (still passed him in the Xfire though)! A 'proper' 2.7RS is still the one to have but prices are going through the roof for those. Ah, the Esprit, I was tempted by a series one before I got the 911 but the ones I could afford were absolute dogs.

MI1XFIRE: Actually it was my daily driver for 4 years, and will be again when the Crossfire comes in for some mods.

Is that a Fiat 124 next to the Porsche? What are your plans for it?

If his Fiat turns out to be like mine he can use it to roast marshmellows and hotdogs.

The long term plan is just to keep using, improving and enjoying it as a daily driver and track car, much the same as the Crossfire is at the moment. The aim is to relieve the Crossfire of daily duties so I can start on some much bigger projects on it and hopefully kickstart a Crossfire business.

Yes, its a 124 Spider, that was my daily driver before the 911. Its 1980 Anniversary edition (no 47 of the 1000, celebrating Pininfarina's 50th year) I will probably have to sell it, but I just can't bring myself to do it. It will be going off to be stores for a while to make some room to finish this:
