        Hi all,

        i will start a journal about my renovation project. I bought on ebay from Belgium a wreck of a Pocher Rolls Royce Star of India - based on the chassis number 188PY.

        The status was not very usable, so i bought a second non finished kit with lot of missing parts on ebay from Vienna.

      Richard, welcome. This looks like you're restoring a "real" old car. It should be a fun project and I can't wait to see the steps you take to tranform this beauty. Ken

      Welcome to the forum, Richard. It looks like you're doing it just like the real thing. You buy a couple of derelict cars and a box of parts and you restore away. This is going to come out very well.
      Sometimes a handful of patience is worth more than a truck load of brains. Have the courage to trust your own beliefs. Don't be swayed by those with louder voices. W.S. Maugham :)

      Hello there....
      I'm building this one too and am nearing completion.
      It's a great kit with loads of 'errors'.... If I can help, let me know.
      A couple of pics of where I'm at...

      Roy.

      Very nice. I like the way you've captured the dash - which wasn't wood, it was Bakelite swirled to a wood effect. Bakelite was a new and exciting material in the early 30s!
      I've found a picture I took when the car was at the Midland Motor Museum in the 80s. There are more, I'll go looking tonight.
