Sounds like a great plan Frank, it should be killer when finished. "One Man, One Engine", the AMG way. Looking forward to your updates (and excellent photos).
Got a good chuckle at the (updated) wartime posters:
"Keep Calm and Have a Beer"
"Now Panic and Freak Out"

All that planning has paid off with what sounds like an awesome spec. As others say, looks like you're in safe hands.
Definitely a GO car!!!!

Holy cow! Sounds like an amazing project. Congrats and glad to hear you are rebuilding. Your car will really be a very special 964. I sense another Total 911 article in the wings!!

Frank, that sounds like an amazing spec, good luck and can't wait to hear it and see it in action! 380hp will be awesome - luckily you put those big reds on a few months back, you are going to need them...

Nice one Frank, I haven't been on here for a while so a bit behind the times!
Sounds like a great build & should be a whole lot of fun. As far as mapping goes, I'd be getting those run-in miles under your belt ASAP with plenty of decel runs then I'd be heading oop north to get it on the rollers.
I may have to pop into Redtek for a sneaky peek next time I'm passing! Best of luck with it all.

This looks terrific.
I am about to have a rebuild on my own newly acquired car and this has given me food for thought.
I normally "live" on 911UK but this site seems to be far more active in regards to 964s.
I want to send a PM to ask things like cost, but cannot easily see a way to do it!

Thanks for all the kind words gents.
Nick's sending through an update and pictures soon. I'll try my very best to pass on all that is said.
True, I'm rather attached to my pair ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks for the kind words. I've had some great help here.
IIRC, how did the big service go? And the honeymoon? Sad I won't be catching up at the next meet - it's been too long!
Cheers. Yeah his shop is a really nice one - they've moved in very recently.
Hi Jetta, thanks! How are the headlights coming along? They sure look great.
Cheers mate - and thanks for the over the phone advice when I was feeling down about it!
I don't believe I've understood your question? Are you talking about the 4WD system?
Cheers Ray. I sure miss the girl - it's been since March that all this started. Can't wait to have her back home and run in.
Cheers Andy. I just couldn't let go in the end.
Cheers mate. I'll be just happy to be back on road!
Yeah those posters made me laugh also. Cheers,
Good stuff - always great to hear feedback from former customers. Assuring.
So what's the plan for the exhaust? I think I'm going to have to be reasonable about DB levels!
Cheers mate. I look forward to seeing you videos... what root have you decided on?
Cheers Stan. Still can't quite believe I'm actually doing this.
Ahhh handling is more important and mushy bit behind the wheel!
Cheers Ben. I'm still dying to see your finished car! Gutted I won't be able to make the next meet! What have you decided re film?
Hi Alex, how's your car? Engine all settled in? You'll have to come to one of the meets.
Running it in will be interesting and I'd like some feed back... the plan for the moment is pre made map that nick has used for past 3.8 ITB cars to run the car up to the mapper. Then map it. I assume a run in period on the rolling road....?
Great stuff. His reputation seems rock solid. thanks
In the background on stands, yup.
I'm no expert but more than happy to pass on my knowledge, options etc.
