Signal! Interior Will be Black . A bit boring perhaps but the outside color calls for calm inside haha

Lovely colour Signal. Congratulations, looks like it is shaping up to be a very special car.

Back on this incredible example... Can anyone explain why the rear seats were retained (photo no. 58) but the rear seatbelts weren't?

Looks like just the squabs without the backrests. For bags?

Any more pics and info on this car? Was looking forward to seeing its progress.

Any updates?

I'm particularly interested in the engine, I've got a 930 and it's nice to know who the go-to guys are to really sort them out, lots of people claim they can but few seem to be able to really get the best out of them.

Your profile says NW Harry, Mike at Zeigen Porsche has excellent experience with 930s and is a great guy to boot...

He's well worth calling in for a coffee with.

My decades longs observation of the 930 engine is they are fragile, coming from a pre-digital / ecu era, where K-Jet and bi-metallic strips were the means of control.
Alois Ruf was way ahead of the factory in his development work, he copped on that the 1984MY 3.2 carrera with motronic ecu, and twin turbos / intercooling was the way to power an aircooled 911 turbo.

Stefan Roser could pedal it, torsion bars, narrow tyres, token brakes and all.

Wonderful solution, form followed function, no cup holders or bling

Assembly has begun!

Richard Chamberlain will do the engine, 3.2 shortstroke turbo mahle motorsport pistons and cylinders has arrived - as has 993 turbo head studs, carillo rods, waiting for a DC20X special cam from John Dougherty.

Currently waiting for new RUF wheels to complete the Ohlins TTX suspension...

This looks stunning, it must be so exciting to see the progress come along. It's going to be amazing.

That’s over a year ago. Hopefully he’s driving it now and will come back to tell us more
