I won’t be able to offer much as far as the Gemballa specific items but I would definitely want to see what maintenance the car has had over the past 10 years. Specifically have the soft parts been replaced such as fuel lines, oil lines, gaskets, suspension bushings and tires? Are the wheels holding pressure, being three piece these often need rebuilds to hold hair. Wear items such as clutch (take up) are also worth checking their performance as it could be costly to repair later.

I’m usually not a fan of the Gemballa kits but this one looks nice!

Thanks, I plan on having a PPI done.

Yes same here, I’m a bike stock guy and was looking for an air cooled 911 turbo. Found this and I just fell in love, something about it. Trying to fly in and see it.

That's a beauty. The fiberglass stuff is more problematic than urethane but on some parts you don't have a choice.

I think you mean 3.6L ROW 965 lowering springs. No way 962 springs would fit or work way too stiff. Rockers are gemballa not factory 965 and the brakes don't look any larger than turbo. I would need to drive it and see what kind of lag if any exists.
