This one time, I restored a Porsche.

Many many years ago, I restored a Porsche.  Not just any Porsche, but a 1955 Speedster.  The 486th Speedster ever built in fact.  I'm a bit ashamed to say that I don't have any good pictures of it.  I've got many many close detail pics that I used during the restoration, but very few overall pics.  Here is a small selection.

It was pretty rough when we got it, the under side was pretty rusty, and it had been "restored" some time in the 70's.  I think it turned out OK, lousy pictures not withstanding.  We farmed out the seats, engine and transmission, I didn't recover the convertible top or do the paint work, but nearly everything else was my doing.
