    Who doesn't love an old Porsche 911

    Hi mate, A good one I hope. 😁 Coupe's are worth more than a targa or cab especially when doing a backdate build, had I have known Darren before he bought this car then I would have gone to view it with him and he wouldn't have bought it. He says now that he would have been far better to have...

    With the front end complete the next job was to sort the oil lines, cooler and thermostat. Like with everything I seem to touch on this car the oil system was no different it was in a bad state through other peoples bad work. The main hard oil lines were cleaned (because they were covered in...

    I decided to replace the damaged front legs with a pair of Bilstein factory option sports shocks, the rears had already been replaced with a pair of yellow fast road sports shocks so it made sense to upgrade the fronts and paint the rears green to match.

    I had a Retroworks potential customer make contact with me through Instagram, he said that he was looking at buying a car from Retroworks but after seeing my post about this car he decided not to go ahead.

    Hey Tom, thanks mate. Yeah basically it's made into a older looking 911, impact bumpers are removed and all of the black exterior trim has been polished. Interior trim is also made to look old. We are going to backdate the dash clocks but this was going to be a 6-8 week wait and a cost of...

    Certainly doesn't, they sound fantastic. Hope you and the family are well bud? No mate, unfortunately not. It started life as a white 1984 3.2 Carrera if you want to use Google.

    Haha, yeah it's a nice plate Darren has a few. Darren paid £75k for the car, it has invoices for around £50k of work but God knows where the £50k has been spent then there's my work on top of that.

    Thank you buddy for the kind words. I get to drive to a lovely part of the country and lock myself away in the middle of nowhere doing something I enjoy.

    Who doesn't love an old Porsche 911

    Front wheel arches were cleaned off, painted and undersealed, oil lines and thermostat was also removed. Front hubs stripped, vapor blasted and new bearings installed with plenty of grease this time. Once the fuel tank was removed i saw that the rubber fuel lines didn't look to be in the best...

    Who doesn't love an old Porsche 911

    Thought id share a little Porsche 911 project that I've been working on for a while. I was contacted by a good friend asking if I would go and inspect a back date 3.2 Carrera that a friend of he's had not long bought and knowing that I worked for a Porsche specialist for a number of years...
