After hassles and time its back...
So.... being the 911 junky I am I couldn't pass on the opportunity to scoop up another air cooled 911 when I had the chance. So way back in Jan of this year I bought this 88 coupe. It had about 63k on it. The bones were all good it just needed some refreshing and some elbow grease.
Special thanks to my friend Marc Koenig at Passion Driven who did most of the heavy lifting. Time is a commodity I have the least of and Marc took time out from building his spectacular RSR creation to do the bigger jobs for me. Refreshed the suspension Went through the motor, seals, return tubes, anything that could leak was addressed, valve covers and gaskets, etc etc. Fresh plugs. Euromeister 17's Bled and changed hydraulics Fresh front and rear hood shocks Powder coated the fan and shroud New sound pad cleaned the engine fixed sunroof replaced clock replaced signal / brights switch removed 1980's radar detector Replaced lots of little trim parts and items Both door switches lots of bulbs. You get the idea. The car had been garaged and used occasionally over the last 20 years. The owner would have the oil changed regularly and the minimum done but just wasn't a hard core Porsche guy. The paint was very oxidized, the rubber was a bit dry, the interior needed a really good cleaning. I am pretty happy with the results!!!!

those 17s look really good. Can you give me more info on the tire sizes and rim sizes?
I'm thinking maybe I should go to 17s
