    Thanks guys. Should be done any day now…Can't wait to try out the 2.7 RS spec. Single plug 9.5:1. Should bring a lot of smiles.

    Time for a quick update with some photos. 2.7 Rs spec is proving to be fun in this lightweight package. Additional rubber on the rear thanks to Harvey's 7R wheels with chunky Avons, 12mm spacers and turbo studs front and rear. Michael Eberhardt customized a set of modern Recaro seat brackets which I had powder coated to look more period. 7300 Tach. Next project will be a larger fuel tank. Enjoy.

    . . . Once Upon a Time

    Nice car!

    How many of us 've seen the pics of that Faktory light-weight --- GTS? . . .

    . . . and dreamed of . . .



    . . . an 'anti-Singer'?


    (I know which one I'd rather have!)



    Doing 'more with less' was always what Porsches were about . . .

    Great job, congrats.
