OVRSTR, Stop and think about it for a while.
I'm in the same situation myself. A 1980 930 with 50K miles, looks and drives like a dream. The only unoriginal parts are a Momo streering wheel and a high break light "spoiler" at the top of the rear window.

TO MOD OR NOT TO MOD, THAT IS THE QUESTION

I really have the urge to take apart, modify, improve. I think I just have to buy that virtual RSR project car NOW, before I pick the 930 to pieces.

I seached for the perfect 930 for two years. I wanted the best I could find, but age wasn't that important. I was looking at lots of modified , and so called Ruf certfified rebuilds, but I always had a bad gut feeling. The cars that gave me the "buy signal" were always original, uncluttered cars. This tells ME that the originals have most value.

Like you I really enjoy reading about the Pelecanites doing all kind of magic on their cars, and I really admire them for that. Some of these guys are professional, some are close to professionals, and many others do know a "bit" about their cars. They impress me all the time.

Hope this helps you to make your choice.
