Looks great! A 911 and 993 are totally different cars, aside from the almost 800# in weight.

Some will point out the very high ride-height setting. Much of that is from the long period of setting. Don’t adjust the suspension (other than alignment) for several thousand miles.

911s that have set for any long period typically have the brake master cylinder fail soon after it is back in service. The failure allows the brake fluid to leak into the pedal assembly causing the plastic bushings to swell and the brake pedal to not return fully. That is until there isn’t any fluid in the reservoir and suddenly NO BRAKES. Check your fluid level. I recommend you summarily replace the master cylinder and flex hoses. It is good preventative maintenance to cycle the pistons in the calipers.

Another issue may be the fuel tank. Look in the fuel level sender opening and swab the bottom of the tank. Any rust?

Enjoy!

Best,
Grady
