I am interested if he does his own marketing or if he's hired an outside firm? He (or they) have succeeded in creating a James Dean of sorts. He appears to be a drinking, smoking, dirty man. But all in a good way, and he doesn't appear to be a subversive agent like another equally dirty looking fellow that has alternate plans for your wheel and T-shirt money...

I don't believe there is any outside marketing firm involved, all the build videos etc are really at the cost of the customer. He doesn't have any real input in production etc, at least from our local build. He just really focuses on getting his work done to his standards and works like a machine too.
He's been around for a long time, dating way back to the Japanese tuner scene. So maybe that's why no need for any additional marketing today. And he seems to be in no shortage for work too; his agenda was pretty busy from what I gather. It's an interesting business model, one man travels worldwide and builds the car, and basically no one else is involved at the location - only using his specific kits prepped before his arrival. As well, the customer essentially takes care of all expenses while abroad.
It seems like you'll see more of the 964 long hood RWBs comes up in the future, he mentioned this is definitely growing in demand. And of course this make sense with all the Singer, Magnus hype etc.
Suspension I believe is fully upgraded literally every component. Consisting of JRZ coilovers, RS suspension bits (tie rods, uprights etc). As well many items upgraded with Tarett parts (arms, drop links, camber plates, subframe mounts etc).

Jager - Nothing major on the motor so far, donor car was a higher mile C2 that had the top end done a few years back.
The motor is definitely next if you've come this far, it's either go 3.8 or I'm pretty sure turbocharged.
