Impressive attention to detail. Cars looks brand new.
The problem with narrow 964 backdates is the wheel offset is likely gonna make it look goofy and make it obvious it is a backdate. The car will likely look best as it sits right now, on a lift without its wheels/tires installed.

I think that 964 narrow body backdates can also look good. For example:
And let's not forget how much dish the Fuchs wheels on a 911 originally had
And I do look forward to seeing the silver car in the first post finished. It looks great already!
This is obviously a beautiful piece of work, but why would anyone take a relatively modern car and make it into a relatively less modern car? Why not just take the $$$ and buy a nice original example of the less modern car, if that's what you want? Few of these folks will ever use either the more modern nor even the less modern car to their full capabilities? What am I missing here?

I think that some prefer the looks of the earlier cars but want some of the updates to go with those looks - e.g. a decent aircon, anti-lock brakes or just having the old looks in a car that is more useable as a daily driver.
Went to a Porsche specialist cars and coffee today
I dont know much detail but it was one of the best I have seen
Thought you lot might like this Backdate Project
Finally a backdate that impresses me. Although I don't understand why they retained the single pot rear calipers. Otherwise that is a backdate I would own in a heartbeat.
I am actually in awe of the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whatever the shop or the price someone is getting a very nice car.
Some better pics below. One thing I'd want different is the rear wheel arch edges to be rounded off. Now they look too square / moden relative to the rest of the car.
