Resto/Mod Backdating costs...

[Mintbird]

A few pics of the 2.8 RSR backdate Ive been working on for the last 5 years.
freshly rebuilt Richard Chamberlain/CTR Developments Engine, 3.25L , GT3 Crank, RSR rocker arms, Centrally Lubricated Schrick 320 Deg Camshafts, Motec,
AT Power Shaftless ITBs - 316 BHP at 6400 revs and an ox of a midrange.
G50 box, concours 100 Point paintjob, KW Clubsport Competition Coilovers etc...

Donor car is actually a 1988 turbo, bit unusual and cool I think.

That looks lovely Axel. Widebody backdate done right, when so many aren't.

[Mintbird]

thanks! The rear arches were reshaped from the more boxy 930 arches to the rounder RSR ones !
Its all steel, no fiberglass.

Few more..

oooh yummy, lovely restomod, well done.

I was also thinking of such, since so many 930 turbo's are on sale around the say 100k, why not use such car as a base, body = check, engine = check as a base.

they are almost cheaper then making one from the ground up and they are original and adding its based on a Turbo car ads a plus me thinks.

anyhow, nice job.

I had a good look around this today, incredible attention to detail.

this one is not so bad either, a updated 964 without sunroof and made more lightweight.

Apart from the front boot which looks like some left over from a Sam Smith gig that is a wonderful interior. Needs de-gutterring on the outside though.

[964Cup]

Here's mine. I won't claim that I did anything other than make decisions and send money, but I'm quite pleased with it.





Bodywork and interior refreshed but left standard - it's a fairly rare car, being one of I believe only 16 C16 wide-body manual cabriolets, and the only one in polar silver over navy.

Under the skin there's a complete KW V3 suspension refresh, a freshly-built 3.8 with 100-cell cats, sports cam and fancy exhaust, LED lights (but with conventional glass, not the trend for a modern look), a modern stereo with the PCCM head unit. I have the correct 17" Cups but it's on replica 18" Speedlines. Pretty well everything else has had some attention - HVAC rebuild, a/c conversion to modern gas, rebuilt CCU, new gauge faces, replaced weather seals etc. The steering wheel is actually a 944 part, so is 360mm instead of 380mm.

It's still running in, but drives very nicely.

Lovely

[Pflanzgarten]

That is lovely 964Cup and you’re right, a really rare car!

I was in Switzerland years back and saw two of them playing together on the passes, one speed yellow and one guards red, both wearing speedlines.

Tried to find one on my return but the closest I got was a LHD in that candy apple red colour (I forget Porsches name for it), but it did have the optional storage unit in place of the rear seats.

Lovely things.

gorgeous 964 cab.

[Filibuster]

Tremendous looking cab and I'm usually not a fan of cabs!

[stichill99]

Agreed, a stunning car!

[ImbackYo]

Still very overpriced imo but looks pretty:

Looks very pretty. Paint looks good if it is as good underneath I don't know if it is overpriced. Lot's to take into consideration. Genuine panels or fibreglass etc etc

I don't think its overpriced, for 1 this one has reasonable straight in air things between repeater/hood, most new build have 'bad wings were the cut outs are wrong, so those black air thing are not straight in but really bad crooked, just watch all newly done classics, 60% or so have that part crooked, I think its because of the side panels supplied, I think most order them by the same supplier, the wrong one lol.

look, left and right pretty good in the spaces were they fit, the black things, some have chroom, or gause?

£75k for a bonnet lined up like that? I remember when these were £30k cars at best (and it all being fields etc).

Now if you want unique...

I guess the bonnet is easy to correct if you want or if its needed.

Probably not. Back in the 00s when these were popular conversions and the cars were cheap, long hood panels were rare and expensive so a lot were built with fibreglass copy panes.

I'd wager the hood is a squiffy panel and get the wing gaps right and either the slam panel won't line up right or bumper won't.

The amount that used genuine panels were really rare and the folk who were pressing/fabricating their own steel panels were properly expensive.

I remember being offered some reproduction steel panels from a certain Welsh artisan back then but they were RSR sized at a really good price-problem was buying all the other RSR bits were still ruinously expensive!

Back when a scruffy SC or early 3.2 was only £10-12K, you could kid yourself the rear arches were close enough and slap a some fibreglass front end, a bit of an interior strip out and a cheap prefix L reg and away you went. Mind you, the real deal was probably "only" a hundred grand or so back then!
