Beautiful car. Thanks for finding them on FB. I've been looking for more photos of this car.

[Ed Bighi]

I spent a real long time looking at it. It's an amazing car. The harder I looked, the more details I saw. Amazing fit and finish. The shifter assembly, the flush mounted windows, Patrick's beautifully made 935 lollipop seats, the rear flares which are cambered to match the wheels, the list goes on. They also used one of their new roof panels on this build. It really simplifies deleting a sunroof. They have a new website up for parts now which is interesting to look at. You can pretty much get anything from them. Even stuff nobody ever thinks about like SCRS front bumpers.

It's too low for canyon carving- or the Nordschleife.

Very clean, love the lollypops!

is that chiffon white?

Aside.....hey Ed.... I notice the Zell-am-Zee in your by-line. Home of the Austrian Porsche dynasty. FWIW....I visited that area often as I was growing up. Have relatives in Carinthia, near Klagenfurt. Near Gmuend. Small town of Steinfeld. Small world. Great mountain scenery and roads for "our" cars...eh?

It's looks expensive, however has a carbureted 3.2 engine, unlike the Singer which has a later engine (993 based?) with ITBs and all the candy.

I'm sure they'd do whatever you want depending on price. Don't care for that carbon shift tower / console.

Great link, thanks for posting it. And I'm glad they're on my side of the pond for once ;

The cage also blew me away. It's as if they took the best features of a Matter 964/993 cage and made it fit even closer to the body everywhere. I will definitely be going up there at some point for a cage build. Patrick and his guys are really into the little details. Last time I was up there he was showing me some lightweight hoods with the balsa inserts and you could not tell them from the actual factory parts. Except that the fiberglassing was much better. Same for his 935 seats.

Yeah, you read that right. Small world indeed. The guy that turns wrenches on my car is the same guy who keeps some of the Porsche family cars in good shape. He also helped me out with my car's Austrian version of German TUV certification after I shipped it from California when I moved here. Nothing stock, very loud, no fog lights, no fender turn indicators, no nothing inside, all ok. Took him a couple of days and a couple of hundred bucks. And beers, of course. But yeah, I first came here for the Porsche connection. Stayed because of the all night partying, skiing and roads. But I needed a new apt this month and was thrown a bargain of a house to rent near Kitzbuehel, just over a couple of mountains, and had to take it. I figured, even if I'm not in Zell where my buddies are, I need an excuse to drive for a half hour or so on these roads to come see them. Though I've gotten a couple of tickets already, one about 45kms over the limit, they cost about 30 euros or so and are non-recordable.

That is one beautiful car !!!!!!!!!!!

[Flieger]

Kitzbuehel- isn't that where Hans Joachim Stuck is from?

[javadog]

While I was cycling through all the photos you can access from that facebook page, there was a reference to an 855 Kg. 911SC. Any more info on that one?

Ed...thanks....love the road west from Steinfeld, Radlach ( as I recall)...and ended up at the glacier near Heiligenblut..... fantastic alpine scenery and roads.

[RWebb]

I wonder if those guys can make a '72 style oil tank out of CF...

[hawaiipcar]

Great looking car need more interior pics..

[Joe Bob]

I like the color combo of paint and graphics, subtle.
