For a different twist, unless you are truly building a Concour competition, 100 point car.... I say make it the way you want and enjoy driving it.
We dropped an '87 3.2 with Motronic injection in mine that has 964 cams, Ben's SS heat exchangers and a Steve Wong custom chip. Converted my original tail-shifter to a side-shifter and geared it to better serve the 3.2. Added a Setrab GT oil cooler up front with the GT hard lines under the driver side rocker. For safety I did a complete set of LED lights from Spoke. I also did drilled/vented rotors with '88 Carrera front and 914-6 GT rear calipers. Finished off with deep six wheels by Harvey Weidman. The car runs and stops. I drive mine and it is not a trailer queen (no offense to those that trailer their cars). I have around 7,500 miles on since the restoration and love driving it.       |
