Hopefully you make an appearance at sowo so I can check ti out!

Still have a lot of things to do and some more cosmetic changes, (like wheels, etc) but a huge victory to drive it today!

I originally had planned to use 1 3/4" but it was too big so I went with 1 5/8".
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Got my project running and took her out on her maiden voyage today. Nothing like driving it out of the garage under it's own power for the first time! Still have a lot of things to do and some more cosmetic changes, (like wheels, etc) but a huge victory to drive it today! As with any project, I had some issues along the way of course like the serpentine belt, the rear coolant hose and shifter cables! But anyway, here she is:
Great work, what a transformation. I envy people like you who can turn picture #1 into what you have done. Sourcing and bolting up parts is one thing but to take a "mechanics special" to a working car again is way beyond my skills.
Personally I can't justify paying stealership prices for these when you can get the same damn thing at Home Depot or Lowe's for a fraction of the price. Although, of course, some experts swear that the Lowe's 1X6s lead to...well you know.
Thanks guys! I tracked down the original owner and asked him what was up with it. He bought it new and paid dealer prices for an engine that self destructed just out of warranty. That second motor blew up about 30K later and he refused to pay for another engine so he sold it to a salvage yard for parts. I saw it when it was in the process of getting stripped and said STOP!! So I purchased it like you see it in the first pictures. Basically, no drivetrain, bumpers or lights. I sourced the drive train from Lone Star in Texas. It had a fresh rebuild with new RMS, IMSB, water pump, etc. And of course, while I was in there, i went ahead and did the exhaust hack!
I originally had planned to use 1 3/4" but it was too big so I went with 1 5/8". The pipe isn't notched (kind of looks that way in the picture, but it isn't) but it clears on both sides by the width of a business card! Sounds great though!
Thanks guys! The wheels are true Speedlines and I got a really good deal on them and the lowering springs as a package deal. I have about 250 miles on it so far and I have to say I love it. I have had 15+ older 911s over the years but this is the first water cooled model. Loving the power and the torque and I havent even gone over 5K RPMs yet! But the biggest diference so far was today. It was a bit chilly this morning and I reached over and turned the heat on and to my surprise I had HEAT! Not smelly air cooled fan blowed over exhaust hot air, but actually coolant heated air!! WOW! And I have cup holders!!
