Sorry for the posting spam, but now I'm caught up! Thanks for everything I've learned from you all over the last 18 months, and I hope to contribute more to RL!!

looking good there ! Wondered how come I'd never seen you on this forum before. Car looks a million times better without the tail on it too - i didn't think it would, but (again), you're right !

The Indie I had do the PPI, Weltmeister, assessed that it is a 'good, solid, original car' it would cost about $10k to get it sweet.
The car then went to another indie in Melbourne, AutoArt, for a top-end rebuild, clutch, fly-wheel and a few other 'house-keeping' things to get it fresh.

Yes - not just AutoArt, but also Weltmeister. I guess there's two explanations...it started after I picked it up, or they didn't do as good a job as I'd hoped...
Went out with these fellas a few weekends ago. I swapped keys with the owner of the 356 speedster (real!!) and that was an eye-opener...
The owner is a German guy - he said he'd recently returned home and drove a 997 (not sure which model). He said he enjoyed the 964 more than the 997 which was a nice compliment. For me, the 356 was absolutely amazing - but certainly not modern..

Great post and awesome job resurrecting your 964. As many said, it looked good when you bought it, but you've been a dutiful owner. I'm sure your car is appreciative. Very cool.

^What he said. ? I'm surprised that made it past the nanny-software.
Looking great! Care to offer up some impressions on the spin in the 356?
Also-
"I never had any issues with cooling or oil pressure though. Indeed, it takes quite a while to get up to temp."
Possible the thermostat is not closing all the way? I just pulled mine apart to replace the piston/spring insert after it stuck closed. The temp gauge warmed surprisingly quickly with it not opening at all.
