Paul;

Here's the list:

Start with a narrow body 911, '86 or 'later. Use an '88, if you want the correct year for a replica. Add the following bits....

Bodywork;

aluminum front fenders
aluminum trunk lid
Ruf rear fender extensions
Ruf rocker panels to match above
shaved roof rain gutters
Ruf front and rear bumpers, front bumper lip
body color rear tag lights, rear reflector
Ruf oil cooler for front bumper with grille and lines
oil tank door in right rear fender
Matter cage, tied to car at B pillars, padded
fire extiguisher mounted to Matter cage behind right seat
NACA ducts in rear fenders, altough most CTRs didn't have them
modifications to car structure at sides of engine bay to accomodate intercoolers
Ruf gas tank (larger, no spare)
gas heater in the trunk (car has headers)
delete most trunk trim
Ruf shock tower brace, welded in
Ruf badges, front and sides
Carrera-style tail, may have longer rubber lip with flatter profile
Ruf fiberglass door mirror, 935-style, left side only
H4 headlights, Euro rear light lenses

Suspension;

larger torsion bars (can't remember the size, but the car is STIFF)
22mm/20mm stabilizer bars, rear shaped for trans clearance
Ruf-valved Bilstein shocks
330 mm Ruf cross-drilled rotors, Ruf 44/36 and 42/36 calipers, appropriate spacers and pads
Ruf 8x17 and 10x17 wheels
Dunlop Denloc tires, 215/45/17 and 255/40/17
Adjustable TRW brake proportioning valve, mounted behind front seats with cheesy leather boot to hide lines

Drivetrain;

Ruf CTR engine (no substitutions here, please)
Ruf 5- speed gearbox, 60% LSD, shifter, pressure plate, clutch and cable
Ruf muffler
Ruf adjustable boost valve, mounted between seats, with cheesy leather boot
Ruf fabricated sheet aluminum oil tank, ahead of right rear wheel
stiffer motor mounts
Ruf gas pedal linkage


Interior;

Recaro seats
2" four-point red cam lock seatbelts, no brand name visible
Ruf gauges
additional indicator lights on dash, either side of the tach, one yellow and one red
switches for front and rear fog lights, heated window
Ruf steering wheel
Ruf floor mats
lightweight carpet, trimmed with edging for rest of interior
'74-style plain door panels, no lid for door pockets
manual windows and locks
no A/C
delete glovebox door and passenger sun visor
black headliner
period Blaupunkt radio and front door speakers
nifty Ruf stickers (5) for engine compartment info
nifty Ruf VIN plate and door sticker


...and other stuff I have forgotten. It would be much cheaper to buy a used one. There are a few floating around and one is bound to come up for sale sooner or later.

Have fun,
JR
