Thanks Matt Monson for pointing out such an awesome car and for putting up with my ADHD as I searched for my first 911. This forum and it's members truly ROCK. I can't wait to take delivery!

De-chrome those wheels, but otherwise, All improvements in my opinion. I get the sense this car has been well cared for.

Ryan,
You are very welcome. Scott's a great guy and he always has great cars. I think you will be quite happy joining the brotherhood of middie owners.

Was not fun watching it get loaded up. Interesting side note, this car had not seen rain in 5 years until tonight.
Have a great time Ryan.

Updated photos
Thought I'd post some updated photos of my personalization of the car I bought from Scott S.

this has been my favorite POST on PP ever. Not too long, just right.
It had a nice start...then helpful advice, then contractual obligations...god cried and a final recap by new owner of his changes. Well done.

I'm glad you all like the changes. I definitely do. The car is a little beast. Since installing the WEVO and a new coupling with delrin bushings. I have run into some difficulty shifting from first to second and the lockout when downshifting from 5th to 4th. Since the transmission was rebuilt by the PO before Scott. I'm wondering if I might have a bent shift rod or loose/bent forks. Sucks that the only proper way to diagnose is removing the gearbox.

You will never get a 915 to shift quickly from 1-2. Always shift at or above 4000 rpm and you will still need a micro pause.
Finished product looks nice.

I'm encountering mechanical-feeling resistance when I shift Matt. That's normal? Thanks for the compliment Matt. I'm happy with the outcome. Carpet kit, rear swaybar, and a DAS rollbar next then a track day in October.

You might try fiddling ever so slightly with the shift coupler. Mark everything with a paint pen before you start so you can get it back if you get lost.
The coupler bushings were the first thing I did on my car, and it took me no joke 4 hours to make 1st, 5th, and reverse lockout all play nice together. Great thread, btw.
