Can you tell us more about your ac barrier hose and compressor port housing arrangment? Is the port housing custom or from another Nippondenso compressor application? On the barrier hoses, you reused the hardline pieces that exit engine left and had the hose portion custom built?

The car started life as a Carrera 4? You used a G50 to convert to RWD? Did you convert it to vacuum assisted brakes ala Carrara 2 or did you retain the hydraulic assisted brakes ala Carrera RS (real Euro RS, not RSA)?

I would love to see a car without the classic rain gutters in person...I'm afraid to remove mine because growing up that's a trait I knew was characteristic of a 911. A few years later, I'm thinking the car will probably look better without them.

Did you consider ditching all the power steering components in favor of an electric pump in the front tub?

when you see the car in the "flesh" it's simply stunning. as you take in the car you're almost left speechless. my car goes to the same shop, and i saw the car when it was a shell. the car is first class from top to bottom. cf roof, bespoke 3.8, short gear tranny, and on and on and on. congrats wilber, the car is unreal.
