'91 Restoration/Mod Finally Underway...
Been busy with other cars lately, but I finally got a chance to put the 964 on the lift and begin the dismantling process. Unfortunately, my car has a Strosek kit and in the process of going back to stock. I have been waiting 8 months for Porsche Classic to finish manufacturing my new front fenders. One has been completed and shipped to the states, and still waiting on the other.
I will keep you updated as I go along. I have many more pics, but not enough time or space to upload them all. Here are a few..

Mainly the exterior, minus the 930 wing and moidifed lights with HID. will be stock. The interior will be updated with new carpet and updated aluminum pieces, as well as complete stereo system. The motor will not be stock and will remain in it's current state - will see how much power she is pulling once done. I also have a thread with the custom exhaust that will be installed as well.

Its great to see these projects where I know the the finishing product will look stunning. Keep up the good work, looking good so far.
Underneath the car looks in very good condition, in fact is it a low mileage car? and was it cheap with it being a Strotek kitted car?

You should be very careful with that IC, they are prone to cause engine failures. Send it to me and I will send a factory orginal one to you so your cars is authentic and trouble free. PM me for my shipping address.
Fingers crossed....

The interior is not really that bad, but I will replace all of the carpeting inside. The car only has 63,000 on the clock. Yes, I got a good deal at the dealership on this car as a result of a two-car trade in. The dealership would have to spend twice as much as the car was worth to get it back to original. So, I jumped on this deal. I get all of my parts at dealer cost, so that made the project more enticing.
The motor is quite modified with Motec EFI and an MSD ignition unit. Supposedly, this car is pushing high hp, so I will wait and see when the rings are replaced and put it on a dyno. If the car goes back to stock, I will keep you in mind.

The added bonus is that I would rather document the process since the car is not original. Having custom made fenders from Porsche Classic to restore this car back to original exterior form sounds much better than used fenders from a yard. People send cars from all over the world to Porsche Classic using their parts and labor to bring them back to factory specification, but at a hefty cost. They are worth more this way. I am using the same parts, just doing the labor myself.

Front Strut mounts are NLA in North America. 3-4 week wait time from Germany. Suspension will be going on once all parts arrive in the next two weeks.
