Who builds the best outlaw 911 in the UK

Glad you guys like it, it turns out it;s one of 50 made in this colour with the 5 speed box & three dials but that's by the by, it's a fun car the complete opposite to everything else I've got in that it's small & light.

It started out as a bit of a basket case but with pretty much new everything floor & rear bulkhead wise it's back on the road I still have a small list of things to do on but it doesn't stop me enjoying it the engine upgrade has made this much more enjoyable, it took a year to rebuild it & next winter I reckon it'll take about 3 months of further work & upgrades (a 2.0 engine & some Wilwoods all round) to get it where I think I want it, my friend kept all the original parts & I've done the same so everything I upgrade will involve changing rather than modifying the original (it is one of 50 after all) parts.

So to summarise OP have a look at various cars & looks & workout what you want done to yours.

Great pics Mr. B! Hope the 912 is running well

Depends on your definition of Outlaw. I saw the recommendation for Retro Works, which I would call Outlaw, but that's being pedantic.
The list as I know though similar to Retro:
Theon Porsche
RPM Technik
Autofarm
Paul Stevens
Ninemeister (in Warrington for you in the NW)
Retroworks
And Jensen Interceptor Automotive are planning a 911 build in the future too. Probably looking for a 1st customer.

Well, I have bought my base car, a 1988 3.2 Carrera in horrible white but great history in terms of bodywork treatment and engine rebuild.
My spec for the backdate will be: electric aircon, complete interior overhaul, 1969 (or there about) backdate of the body panels, badging, SSI exhaust, increased BHP, some badass mods.......all probably what purists do not like but hey......
I was at the Yorkshire Porsche festival last weekend and the cars from 911 Retroworks look so much better then the other cars from the era....
Whatever the comments will be.....I do not care. My car is going to look ace, sound great with a performance to match.....

Please do a build thread.

Seconded. I'd love to learn more! Something I hanker after over the next five or so years. I need to learn a hell of a lot just so I can ask the right questions if I do ever get to the stage of commissioning one.

Yes, I saw the targa at Lotherton.
That is what I am having done to my car with some extra bits like electric A/C......colour scheme not quite decided on...

[BertBert]

It's always interesting to work out what one likes and at the angle of the photo, the big rear arches with the targa don't work for me. Mind you I bet the fat arse looks good from the rear!

Here's the rear...

[ZX10R NIN]

Very nice

[loughran]

Just for balance I would say it's probably the most fuggly 911 I've ever seen.

That looks fantastic

I'm busy building my own too. Currently in paint.

Everyone on your list has a good reputation but ive got to give everyone the heads up on theon porsche, it is a strange one as it doesnt exist, we built the car for adam hawley in 2015 and handed it over in june/july, we had it featured in gt porsche mag in the nov 15 edition as our creation.

He planned to sell them and we build them which we didnt mind at all, but he then advertised the car we built as a theon!

If you look at the cars on his website they have been photoshopped the seals between the bonnet and bumpers are body coloured lol
taking the credit for someone elses work with a load of bs he has written is a out of order.

I would be very careful as he hasnt done any of what he says he has....
The job to build a theon is currently advertised on indeed as he hasnt got the facilities too or the body moulds, all very strange

Yup

Any specs or are you working it out on the fly?

Have to say the wheels/arches are not for me...think they've tried to imitate the Singer look which is probably the most controversial part of the Singer cars but they've executed it better.

Well put Sir !!
The idea is good (if Targas are your thing), but the execution less so. As you say, the Singer arches do seem to be devisive (personally I'm a fan) but the Targa rear quarter panel shape loses "something" (on all 911 iterations) when compared to those of the Coupe.
So even when Singer do it. it just looks in some way, "wrong" :
