Trying to find the silver lining here. Now that the thread is closing, maybe it's time to section it into specific fixes and put it in DIY so the legacy is retained an easier to access?

Great. I don't think anyone else has come close to fully documenting some of the fixes as you have. It's a big thread so there's a lot to wade through if you have a specific need.

Sorry to hear it's sold Kevin. Congrats to the new owner, maybe he's a Rennlister and this won't be the last we see of this particular 964?.

Anyway, great to have met you and thanks again for help fitting the Perfect Power strut-brace. I was lucky to also get 1 of only 3 genuine Babalouis custom bracket for fuel tank sender unit! I think these will become collectables, and will be worth a fortune one day!!!

Also a treat to see the Skyline up close and personal. That car is a real beast...

Hoping we catch up again in the future.

Thanks again Kev

Mine is the even rarer "hand-painted" by Babalouie himself!!!

It's in (any colour you want as long as it's) black!

I am glad however, that the 964 is going to a good home, and will be joining what sounds like a very nice collection full of Ferraris. Thanks to all the Rennlisters for the advice and friendship over the last 2.5yrs

Favourable deal! A trinket for some Ferrari guy eh? Good for you doing your part to redistribute wealth. I'm keeping mine for the time being... Foolish me.

I think what he's doing...is that he has V8 Ferraris of various generations, and is now collecting the 911 equivalent for each one.

You gotta admit, that's a hell of a sweet idea if you have the means

It would be nice if he turned up here one day, he sounds like our kind of guy

Wow just spent a few hours going through this amazing thread. Your skills and ability to describe and photograph in such an easy to understand manner is truly awesome and inspiring. I hope that there's another P car in your future.
