cost of ST clone

[fg1227]

Now that my 911T/ST clone is coming together,I've gone over the costs.For those who are considering this kind of project here'what it cost:
1/car- $25,000(unmolested rust free quality 911t)
2/motor- $40,000(2.5 litre twin plug fresh rebuilt)
3/46 webers- $3500
4/transmission- $5000(901, with lsd,airport gears)
5/fuel tank- $5000(factory center-fill tank)
6/suspension $6000(bilstein coil overs ,sway bars)
7/ wheels $1000(nos mini lites)
8/tires $1000(avon)
9/ labor $15,000 +
10/misc $2000 (dead pedal,radio&clock delete,rebuild
inst 250k speedo.
10,000 rpm tach,lite weight carpet)

I THINK THESE #'S ARE CONSERVATIVE;so you see it's over a hundred to make a proper ST.plus this one took 3 years

TOM,you're right,I forgot the sport muffler,too;now it is getting expensive!
I'm GOING TO STOP THINK WHAT i spent.

Well frank, for most of us it would have been more than 3 years too: Add in paint work, and alot of the parts that Tom C just mentioned - a real $ to have a car all professionally built at a real shop would be $120k. Sure someone can cut corners and do it cheap, but for the quality that you have and what Tom is in the process of building - you get what you pay for and you both have cars that will last another 30 years!

Rule #1

Never look at your receipts and never, never add them up!
