Looks great Randy. I like the color matched Porsche on the intake.

Yes, the intake lettering looks very good.
Very nice engine bay.
Nice job Randy.

That looks like the Brey-Krause one that I have (but with the Brey-Krause sticker removed). Those have probably been NLA for some time.

I hope you have since removed that fuel pressure gauge, unless you want to have your own Engine Fire thread some day!

Everything was replated, including the hood latch.



Intake decals by Bertrand Daoust.



Entire front end of the car was repainted. Will post some detail shots after it is polished and waxed in a couple more weeks - paint has to fully cure first.
Looks great Randy, glad it's back on the road.

Six weeks after paint it's time to do final cut, wax and buff:











That cross brace bar was definitely bent:



Replaced it with this beauty carbon fiber one from our pals at 928 Specialists:

Looks the same as the old style Vortex one I have. Nice. Mine has held up very well - looks new!

Great save - I bet it looks (and functions) better now then before the fire.
