UNTIL MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS

Nearly no parts carry over and if you are talking about a early 930 1975 to 1979 most parts are "superseded parts" meaning they are for a 1986-1989 930 and simply are incorrect or do not fit with out a whole lot of work "retrofit".

Anyhow I was brought to my knees in a hurry just fixing trinkets and switches the bill came to $20,000 (fixing everything bumper to bumper).
I don't know where you are getting your information, and if it is directly from someone at a repair shop then they are pulling one over on you, but what you are saying above is simply not very accurate; many of the 911 and 930 components are similar or the same (interchangeable, in may instances), especially maintenance items such as ignition wear components, valve lash inspection service kits, etc., and all of the 3.3 models are nearly mechanically identical except for some emissions add on gear and the exhaust systems (far superior in 86-89 USA models verses the earlier ones) . . . different gearbox and clutch assembly in 1989, buttofcourse.
