Very nice to see one brought back.. I just wish I had that much space to work instead of my cramped garage.

I like it a lot. Deja Vu.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Loving it. So smooth, so fast. I try not to regret but could have done this twice with the resources sunk into my 931 over the years.

I'm curious how you are getting your gauges to work. Any tips?
the speedometer is cable driven and tachometer I'm not sure, but I have a 944S2 transaxle which has an electric signal rather than mechanical.

Pick up tach signal from the DME harness. I plan on using a GPS speedometer, although on my 931, which also had 951 bits up front, I had the spindles drilled to accept the cable.
