About this Blog

Welcome to 924//works, a personal journal and resource for classic Porsche restoration enthusiasts. Whether you’re a seasoned restorer or just curious about the process, you’ll find detailed project updates, honest reflections, and practical tips drawn from my own hands-on experience.

Who I Am

I’m James, a lifelong Porsche fan based in the UK. My journey with these iconic machines began when I took on my first project—a white Porsche 924 2.0—only to discover the thrill of reviving a neglected car into a roadworthy classic. Since then, I’ve owned and restored several Porsches, from Boxster S and Cayenne to two unique 924s (including MCU 53X), each with its own story.
