Hi all,
More advice sought.
I am thinking of having my 71 911 E Targa restored and was looking for recommendations of someone on the East Coast that you would be happy with doing your own car.

Currently it is a tired, fun driver, with a strong, smokey T engine, miss matched interior, cracked dash, and paint that looks good but would benefit from attention.

I am of two minds;

1) A complete stem to stern total mechanical rebuild of all systems, including some modest performance upgrades . I would then take care of the interior cosmetics, seats, targa top rebuild, etc., and drive it that way until I decided to do some paint work.

2) A total restoration, also with performance mods

I am not after a show car, it's for driving, but that said, I would be very happy with an almost new 71 911.

I guess that there is a third option, Porsche themselves via their Classic Center. That I imagine would be very costly, does anyone have experience with that ?

I thank you all and look forward to you answers.
