Nothing cut up, everyone happy 😀 Yeah that is such a beauty. So tempting! 4 hours ago, Fishcop said: Give Michael Harris a shout - he did all the work to tidy this car up. I recall driving it - if I spent any money on it, it would be on the engine... https://promotive.com.au/ I have a few 100mls of Arrow Blue paint left over if you need Yes have spoken to Michael. Sadly he is in Brisbane and I am in Sydney, so apart from the car history that he already shared in a lot of detail, I can't get him to help with much else. Interesting comment about engine. I find it pretty sorted, roughly 205bhp, pulls strong and smooth and only done 50K kms since rebuild. What work do you suggest I do to it?

But the set up, cosmetics, widths and rubber would suggest it has a bigger heart It's crying out for a 3.5l ITB screamer or a 964 3.6 transplant michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a matching numbers Aussie delivered car, so there is a bit of hesitation to change out the engine on my part. If the engine needed rework, I would have definitely considered rebuilding it as a higher displacement engine. I will take your feedback and keep a look out for a 3.2 or 3.6 engine out of later models Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IROC is a kinda correct re:VIN and Brutta Bella . But like all n sundry say if you got the tingly feels for a long hood, get out the grinder. It’s only time time and more money. And it’s just a car Looking forward to holiday progress Edit: made a slight mod to your engine theory blue_ixxi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
