Thanks, I would love to see more photos of your car if you have them posted anyplace.
I’ve been reading Ryan’s book and trying to learn as much as possible before going down the restoration path. Ryan is local and there are a few other 3.0 Turbos in the area as well and I'm connecting with those owners. Small but welcoming group!
The paint code on the car still lists 250 which is how the car left the factory. I’ve got no idea why someone would paint it white but I’ve never understood why aluminum windows became the rage at one point either 😃
The car should arrive in a few weeks and will be going through a number of close inspections (body, mechanical, etc) before I embark on the project. I’ve got a very experienced / reputable Porsche shop that will be determining the must do items to get it running well enough to put some shakedown miles on it. I’m talking to a number of shops about the project and still deciding how best to phase it.
Any suggestions on approaching the restoration are much appreciated. Ryan’s advice was to take particular care with the bodywork and repaint. Invest once to get that done right. Many other things can be staged and even redone later as needed. The total budget will really depend on how much $$ needs to go into the engine. It runs now and is still low mileage but has sat for a long time.
Thanks,
Jeff
