Hi,
I’m in the process of acquiring a 1975 930 and heading down the path of restoration. I’ve owned a number of Porsches over the years, and done some work on them as well, but this will be the most ambitious project by far.
Chassis # – 930 570 0106
Manufactured April of 1975. Ice Green Metallic with Black interior. Non-sunroof car. German car market, at some point imported to Japan.
The current condition – 91,226 km. At some point it was repainted white. Exterior in okay to rough shape without any obvious signs of rust. Interior is rough. Engine runs. Restoration candidate for sure. Not sure if whale tail is an all rubber option originally or a replacement but it is pretty ugly.
I lack the time and skill to do the bulk of the work myself and I’m currently talking to a variety of shops. I’m planning a bare metal repaint back to the original color, sorting out the car mechanically and it needs a lot of interior love. I’m going for a really nice cars and coffee weekend driver, not shooting for a top 1% concours restoration. Slippery slope I know 😃

I’ll post photos here as well but I’m on my phone at the moment.
I love being able to read all your threads and learn from your experience. I welcome any thoughts, recommendations, gotchas, etc. I know what I’m getting into won’t be fast or cheap, but I’ve always loved these 930s and I just happen to share the exact same birthdate and birthplace as this car so I’m feeling like it was meant to be. Dangerous I know!
Thanks,
Jeff
