Hello André,
I watched your video on Petrolicous and found it very inspiring. I too have been a sportsncar enthusiast for my adult life and have had 4 Porsches and it seems that once you’ve had one you never really get it out of your system. I’d like to know a little more about your particular build than I was able to glean from the video. Did you do any upgrades to the suspension? It looks like you took a 2.7 from a later 911 and dipped it in but I’m sure you did more than that – can you tell me a little about the crbs and any other mods you may have done to it. It sounds great by the way . Does it ever bother you that you don’t have AC? I’m assuming you don’t as I didn’t see a compressor. What did you add if anything to increase the cooling capacity of the engine? As in additional oil coolers? Any special cams or pistons/rods or twin plug heads? Did you upgrade the brakes? It looks like the rear wheels are wider than stock- what are the sizes?
On the interior – looks like a mono prototypo and the seats – what did you use for the seats? I love the way you did the rear deck lid grille and small version of a duck tail wing (so very tasteful). The paint color is really beautiful, too bad you don’t have the code.
Your car represents the perfect build in my mind as it is not over the top and is just right . If a person had a decent candidate would you recommend a pre 69 or post 69 for the longer wheelbase? What do you think a person might have to spend to duplicate your car in US dollars – wild guess would be greatly appreciated . I could do something’s myself but am limited so most would have to be done by others.
In closing let me thank you for making the video and sharing your car with us fellow enthusiasts! I know you must be inundated with people like me contacting you and I hope that you may find some time to answer my message as it would be so greatly appreciated. Tank you so much for reading my message.
