Hi Burt
Looking at this as a long term project. I do have the advantage that hard to find parts that are cast aluminium parts I have the ability to make patterns and moulds and then cast and CNC machine them. I need a project to get engrossed in using the skills I have acquired but to make items I am interested in without any commercial pressure using the skills I have I think I might save a fortune on parts but at the cost of my time... call it a kind of therapy project

Well that would be a project! But it would still be a huge cost. There won't be that many bits that you could make yourself. And to make moulds you'd need to borrow examples.Looking at this as a long term project.

Make sure it's not running on the bumpstops, you will sacrifice handling for looks! Been there done that.
But I'm sure you know that already.

Lovely car as others have said by the way!
Not had engine done but this would be a fabulous if all you want is some retro cool. Really looks wonderful in Birch Green.

I wouldn't under sell this car. Give it to a trusted dealer like 911 Virgin to SOR and sell for no less than your build cost inc sales commissions. Tom Price may be nervous as its a modded 911 but this is basically an old new car and I think his phone would melt. In the car world this is a Rolex. The car above in birch green is an Omega. Most of the back date stuff I've seen are just fake watches almost throw them away once you've finished with them they're so crap as no-one will buy them again.
I personally think she will fly out the door when Tuthill quoting £300k for something similar albeit to your own spec and actually with much less power as Mr Tuthill doesn't feel high engine power an important ingredient of his own perfect 911 i.e. narrow body, narrow tyre, and LW philosophy.
Is the 3.2 and 915 out of a 1984 onwards G series? What will she rev out to and where will peak power be? I'd love to see a dyno. I'd kill to have a go in this car
PS is 930 also yours?!
