Congrats.
Btw, I think your old RSA is coming to market if you want to buy it back.
Is this it?

Thanks guys! The plan is to slowly acquire parts (famous last words)... Yes I need brakes, yes I need Cup Is.

Matt, if the VIN is correct than that's my old car, it wasn number 017. My old license plate was "17of701" Looks like the supercharger is still on it. And the steering wheel. Nothing else resembles what I shipped to Germany 6 years ago. Yikes. Here's what it used to look like, back in the day and no, I definitely do not want to buy it back in its present shape...

I love me a good long nose but your car was stunning with the Halloween colors! I like it better original.

I think the experience of a long hood is the chassis itself. Yes, you can backdate a car but it's not the same.

Agreed. My 67 is such a different car than my 86.

I agree the experience is completely different. As nice as they are I don't feel safe driving them on the streets anymore especially with manual brakes.

I can't believe it was 8 years ago last month when I took this. That was a great day and a different time. I just realized I have had my C2 for 8 years now. Time does fly by.

The time we first met about 10 years ago driving the Volvo wagon did you ever think you would have taken the obsession this far??

Awesome Ilko. Congrats!

I see a lot of your pictures look to be up in the Catskills? My family has a farm in the Windham area, lots of great driving roads in that area!!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with your new 964

Well done Ilko. A 3.8 964 is the only 911 Pcar I would consider adding to my stable today.

Welcome back!! Great car! I miss your old car too! I intermittently have been on the forum over the years, but always remember that supercharged Halloween RSA!
