Default Is Andial still building 3.8L twin plugs?

Thought I read somewhere they were currently building a 993tt 3.8L twin plug. Porshemeister's car maybe? I thought they closed their service doors sometime last year?
Thanks.

ANDIAL is not closed. Their business has shifted to primairly parts and "special" projects for long time customers. As mooty said they are building a very special 3.8 tt for porschemeister. It is the 22nd 3.8 twin plug but this one is over the top. Can't say any more.

correct, the car was awesome the way I bought it. I will have lots of parts for sale when the conversion is done such as turbos (Hybrids by Kevin), headers, ECU (Protomotive), Greddy boost control, suspension, wheels etc.

The car will be made into a full blown GT2 as delivered by the factory in 1995. I raced 993 Turbos extensively in the '90's and had lots of parts in my warehouse such as:

Aluminum doors from the car we raced at the 24h in Daytona 1995 (they are actually stamped 0001 indicating the first ever built GT2)

front bumper and nose pieces as raced in the same race

aluminum hood

Factory GT2 fender flares

GT2 tail

thin glass (wiper delete)

sunroof delete

2WD with factory Bilstein adjustable suspension

GT2 wheel carriers front

Speedline factory wheels (special thanks to Jean)

light weight interior including door panels without speakers (radio delete)

Recaro SPG in leather

Half cage

headlightwasher delete

can't wait to get the animal back I will be going to Andial this week to drop off more pars and check on the progress.

Rennlist has been an awesome source for information on this project. I will post pics as soon as I get back.

Love to find out how to get a 3.8 built by Andial....mmmmm

Your new GT3RS is going to be jealous!

Best....

It might be able to be arranged. If you can answer yes to the following questions.
Do you own a Brinks truck?
Is it full of $$$$$$?

Probably be easier to try and talk one of us out of ours, but that still won't be easy!
