my singer 911 2015 restoration
i didn't want to be hi-jacking https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...storation.html thread, so i am going to start a new one for my own singer project.
i have already paid SVD deposit and got an allocation for December of 2015 (yes, it looks like they are pretty booked up)... there is a small chance they could get started on my car earlier, but i am not holding my breath... it takes about 10 month to finish the car, so I am really looking at Q2 or Q3 of 2016 for delivery.
the donor car has already been sourced by Singer and they arranged for me to take ownership of it. i am now a lucky owner of a 1991 Carrera 2 with a 3.6L engine and tiptronic transmission. given that car has over 100K miles, it is good that Singer will be breathing new life into it.
while not a fan of vanity license plates, i couldn't resist here and got a "964 SNGR" plate for this project.
next up: trip to Burbank in May to select colors and finalize various options... stay tuned.

it sounds like what they mostly care about in a donor car is how straight the frame is and they measure it to make sure the frame is straight down to 2-3mm

Yes I sourced my car through Rob in 2013 after I put down my deposit. While struggling over color and leather I made an off hand comment if Dubai was available I would buy it. Well it was and I own it. This winter I sent Dubai back do we could take the engine from it and put it in my Minnesota #27 which is nearing completion. It has the 3.8 and it's plenty of engine. But I could not resist putting the 4.0L in Dubai which arrived at their shop yesterday(the completed engine). Both should be complete in the next two months. I don't think any car has made me smile more than the Singer, it is a blast.

anonymous918, I too am awaiting my Singer build. We are on the same schedule Dec '15 start. I just purchased the donor through Singer. I plan to go for the 4.0L engine. Let he fun planning begin.
