Thanks chaps.

It was all totally unplanned.

I bought it years ago as a standard guards red 2.7 coupe. Then one day on a mad whim I decided to restor her. I spent a few days btaking it to pieces and then restoring or replacing bits and pieces.

Along the way I bought a 3.2 engine and ran that for a while. Then i went a bit biserk focussed on the engine. I did this:

- 3.5 mahle pistons and barrels;
- jenvey throttle bodies;
- twin spark;
- 964 twin dizzy;
- GT cams;
- shuffle pinned the case;
- balanced and polished the crank;
- balanced the con rods;
- new valves
- powder coated the fan and fan housing;
- etc

Ive also done the brakes with Brembo GTPL's and increased the wheels to 16 x 7 on the front and 16 x 9 on the rear.

Im in the middle of a G50 gearbox conversion and RSR coilover suspension - this is proving quite tricky but hopefully worth while.

I put a small picture video together for my 911. I was at a photoshoot and took some of my own pics.
