Pretty much exactly the conclusion I came to during what would have been my ultimate (Neil Bainbridge’s words) 2.8 RSR build. I got out after the restoration, prep and “2.8 RSR isisation” of the shell, and having procured a few parts.
I got out without any financial loss or gain.
Sometimes I wish I’d seen the project through, but having done a complete concours restoration on a 964 RS, I know how you must have felt at the end of your build Graham.

Happy New year Paul. I hope you're well ?

That’s one of the worst “restomod’s” I’ve ever seen….be amazed if that gets anywhere near £100k https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1970-porsche-9...

I guess with a normal exhaust and a different front bumper it would be better, but still an acquired taste. I don’t mind the colors even if not my first choice.
I suspect it will top out a long long way below the cost.

That looks like quite a lot of car for relatively little money. What am I missing?https://www.williamscrawford.co.uk/listings/porsch...
(would prefer wider arches and different seats, mind)

I like the narrow body look (the car is near perfect on the outside), as you said the seats, a bit too big and modern.(would prefer wider arches and different seats, mind)
Just watched the video and the chap gives a good talk, but is their work 'up there'?

I love all the details, specially also the leather with stiches around the tubes, some still use ugly central heating isolating stuf.
You mean the FIA foam that's mandated for any kind of competition car, that's designed to stop your skull splitting open if you hit your head against a steel tube in a crash?when the car on the outside is not to bad, see>>

Seats are not for me like others have said but that’s personally taste.

This is great value and if it checks out would be a great base imo.

Period looking but comfortable seats in that ,i would be lolipops, most comfy seat i have sat in and hold you well.
Targas can be a even bigger money pit, especially if the chassis has drooped with rust issues Etc, they also leak at high speed, look good though , but dont drive as well as the tin top.
