He put in an 89 3.2 with 21k miles on it. It looks like a rebuilt 75 trans was used along with lt weight flywheel and sport clutch. The engine was kept stock with the exception of headers, sport exhaust, chip etc. 22/29 torsion bars, Bilstein sport shocks all around etc. $22k in receipts in 1994 for this work.

One of my good friends bought the car in 1999 from Stephenson and proceeded to tear it apart and sent the chassis and body to Stoddard for the little rust repair it needed, plus a complete repaint in original silver to factory standards.In addition all new seals, rubbers, etc. Stoddard put on the ducktail, front and rear bumpers etc. The floors were solid and the rust was minimal mainly in the rockers IIRC.

I bought the car in 2006 or so, added sport seats and just drove it. We just completed a front to rear service, replacing all oil lines, cleaning up the front compartment, removed the roll bar , and just took care of a few niggling issues...oil pressure and oil level senders etc. It should be all back together next week.

Can't wait to drive it again.

I remember your car well!
Jim and his lovely wife were very active in the Connecticut Valley Region PCA. He used to time trial the car, do ralllyes and even Concours. The car was well loved all the while. I am very surprised that it need any body work at all. When Jim had it the car was stunning. But I guess time takes its toll
Ds.

I just received the seats I ordered to David Bouzaglou of TREMotorsport... in january! Perfect replicas of the famous Recaro RSR for my lovely Trudi (2.8 RSR tribute).
I have to thank Sam Gassel (http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ghlight=sunoco), who gave me the good advice to contact David.
I have now all the parts for the upgrading of Trudi (motor, gearbox, tank, steering wheel, exhaust, circuit breaker, windows, seats, etc, etc) and I will show you soon the final result…

Thanks for the info.The car has tons of integrity. This 911, tho not matching #'s correct, has been very fun. The combination of the light weight, with the great power of the 3.2 along with the suspension mods makes for a very enjoyable experience.

R&R'd my weeping soft oil lines coming off the thermostat.
(yes I connected both sides ;))

A couple of new pieces of jewelry...

I visit my «gourou» who was working on my lovely Trudi…
Heart «open» operation!
The engine which will move her to «indecent» speed: 3,5 l (330 HP and lot's of torque…), high butterflies, twin ignition, RSR injection, small turbine, etc.
The gearbox with the oil cooling.
Wait for the continuation…

Visited my tire mounting GooRoo.:cool: For some reason the rears don't last half as long as the fronts.;) Adjusted the emergency brakes for some serious rallying later this week. Heh, heh.

Uh Oh !

Is that photoshopped ? or the new look - I like it.

Oil change in prep for a long drive down to Solvang.

John, just a concept sketch. Heidi likes it which means I'll probably do it.

Today I also replaced CV joint grease boots (got plenty dirty) and checked out all systems. Good to go!
