I had my headers coated by Jet Hot a few years ago, and I have not seen any flaking or cracking at the accordian. I wondered too, but it seems fine. Your engine bay and parts look very sharp!

Awesome photos and beautiful car/parts. Do you have a before shot of your engine bay? I will be doing the same and mine is filthy...would like to see some before to see just how good the cleaner you used is.

NICE! I just posted the down and dirty version of my race car rebuild which was inspired by your little project. The finish on your parts is outstanding. It is so much easier using nice clean parts. Great job, you are an **** SOB. It was an inspiration to work just a bit harder on my rebuild.
Thanks for the photos.

That shows the tank upgrade for running the external catch can.
Glad I could inspire you Disaterman.
Since owning my first 951 in 1993 I have wanted to do a full restore and street performance 951. Have the money to do it now
Great time to buy a second one also
The car needed cleaning really badly since it sat since 1999. I'm the second owner. Car only had 44000 kilometers when I found it but it was pretty dusty
