best donor car to do a rs project

[mrh1275]

can you use any 911 to do an rs replica?..

A bit generic...if you start out with a 1971 911T it will cost you a fortune to turn it into a 996RS

If you want to create a 1972 2.7RS replica, you would make life easier starting with a car of a similar era,,,,you could use a donor car up to say '89, but it could well cost your more to convert,, so many variables to consider, specifically the condition of the donor car.

Have a look here www.early911.co.uk for conversion examples Nick Moss does conversions and certainly seems to know his cars.

I would go for the later body style and build a replica SCRS. The later body shells are galvanised, and are less likely to have corrosion problems.
