  • Coming back to 0350

    Morning all,

    Some of you may remember me from way back in the FFOC, RSOC, Northen Monkey/Tuna days. I bought 0350 standard back in 2004. I kept it until around May 2013 and highly modified with all the best bits you could get at the time. Sold it on as had a few life changes and as many do decided I wanted something different.

    Ten cars later and now have a Cayman GTS, but just happened to spot my old car on EBay a few weeks back and felt I couldn't let it go. I went down to see it yesterday and agreed a price and left a deposit. Just need to sort a few things with number plate changes etc and then hopefully I'll have it back soon.

    My long term plan would be for it to be a keeper now. It's had an air to air setup fitted since I had it, and I'd rather revert back to the charge cooled system. Just prefer the originality of it, but unfortunately it would seem the original parts have gone, so if anyone has any spare parts I could well be interested. I am having a scissor lift installed next month, so the underside shall be in for a restoration and overall tidy up over the winter. May consider a respray in the future, but I'll wait till I get it back and can have a proper assessment of it.

    Other than that hopefully return to some shows again when time allows.

    Marc

        Hello and welcome Marc that looks very nice example your username rings a bell from the rsoc forum and if I remember correctly I bought a instrument surround with a pocket moulded for a scangauge to be mounted to I could be thinking of the wrong person though.

          Hi,
          Quite possibly, I do think I had one of those at one point.

              Was hoping for last Saturday, but he wants his private plate off the car and wasn't able to do it online. So, as soon as he gets the paperwork back and I can find the time to go down and collect it,

            and welcome back, the good old can of worms days hey 🤭🤭
            these focuses sure are addictive, lost count of people buying back their old cars, or wanting another one

                Yes, was the best time I've had with any car. Lots of very knowledgeable people. Been speaking to Lami on Facebook to get me back in the loop with where things are.
