    Myflat6 and Simonjjb in this forum recently completed major restorations, with detailed picture and narrative; some of the best. You may want to go through those two threads and make careful notes. Will come very handy down your restoration journey.

    Best wishes.

    Thanks for the callout however, my thread is actually found over on Rennlist here https://rennlist.com/forums/911-foru...rod-build.html

    Heads-up that my build is a hotrod and not meant to be concours, and you will also see that the build took many turns so if you care to read through the lengthy thread, you will see what I mean. It should at least provide entertainment to readers lol - a true novice learning along the way and often times the hard way!

    Thanks, that's actually how I plan to do mine - aka not a concourse car. You gave me reading material for tonight.
    I will add you to my instagram feed.

    I am very excited and terrified for all the things that can go wrong, but after owning a 964 I crave for a simpler and lighter aircooled experience.

    Awesome - looking forward to following your journey. Excited and terrified are emotions one should feel when embarking on something like this for the first time. You will continue to experience different emotions over the course of the build - but if it ends up being like my experience, it will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life. I am getting the itch to do another build already.

    Thank you Bill, I have been following your project and I can only hope mine will look half as nice. Anyways, I got a Christmas present for myself a couple of days ago. Here is the Kardex.

    I looked at the address of the first owner and where he used to live has been replaced by a massive apartment complex in Arlington Virginia. Certain James E. Lynch

    Thank you.

    I did notice the 4 speed transmission, I thought all 911 came with a 5 speed.
