I never knew that. I did hear that roofs in early 911s were shaped a bit different than the roofs in the later cars, but I never looked and noticed - maybe that's what you're talking about.

Nice! So if you were to add the cost of paint and labor for painting the roof, that could be another $2500 (?) alone, or more) if you weren't painting the rest of the car, totaling $6500-$7500? ...

Looking at the Nico NPL30 I'm sure it would start your motor, but the specs show it's only a 7.8 Ah battery. If weight is the prime consideration, it will do the job, but not the best $:Ah ratio. ...

Yeah ok, that's not a Euro chip. It's a stock chip commonly found in in all US and Canadian 85-86 3.2s.
