Wow, any idea what the total budget is for all this work?

Great thread John/Richard. Subscribed

I expect it is significant but vicarious ownership is very affordable

The car was in good hands. Very excited to see threads like these and people like him who is passionate enthusiast.

Costs are mounting at quite a pace , however I am very passionate about doing it 100 % properly - we have a strange dynamic happening in the UK with Aircooled prices going through the roof - which in itself is frustrating on all sorts of levels , however the only silver lining is it helps to justify the total restoration cost on this project - I don't really want to say how much the whole thing is costing on a public forum - all I will say is I'll keep going until it's done

Hi there - another update - I mentioned before that the car was original panels and 100 % rust fee - the bodyshop have ensured that when taking it back to bare metal that it will also be 100 % filler free before painting - these photos illustrate the levels they are going through to do this - this was to take out the tiniest imperfection in th bodywork under the windscreen , that in truth , I found very hard to see - they were having none of it - I think that their attention to detail is amazing

Tag team posting with Richard. The engine is back together and looking good.

Where would a Turbo 3.6 be without its signature wheels? Beautifully restored with the "Speedline for Porsche" etching. The car originally came with Turbo script centers, but Richard has sourced some alternates to change as he chooses.

The body is close to being finished as well

Paint is done but a lot to reinstall.

Everything looks fantastic. not that the car wasn't a beauty to begin with.

Hate to bring this up but the crested center caps are incorrect for the 94 turbo. The proper ones have the circle around the outside and the PORSCHE lettering in gold.

John McM

Thanks Anthony. Do you have an image of the correct ones for Richard?

Who did you get to do the etching? I would like to do this as part of my refurb

Oh , bugger - good news is that these are just spares - I also have the original Turbo centres
