Black paint and polished wheels (chrome? not sure) look great together. Good work.....nice looking 911! My 55 year old eyes aint what they used to be.......(sometimes midnight blue looks black too). Thanks for showing it.

"Not for the faint of heart" is that referring to the amount of $ that's been spent? Sounds like it was a bit of a wreck before ? What is the history of the vehicle?
Anyway it looks like it's just about new again , but as you say the motor is an unknown. Best of luck!

You hit it right on the head...$ spent to revitalize this old girl. Motor , I think is OK except for the one pulled stud. She runs strong, little oil use. I bought her from an old Pelican who stopped in the middle of the restoration. All the suspension work was done, interior was about 75% done and the rest is a lot of time, effort, energy and dollars thrown at her to bring her back to her glory.
