Okay so here we have another 964 project thread, it's never going to be a 'sticky' or at the level of Paul, Clinchy, my fellow Geordies and all; but at least it's something for you to read.
First two items planned:
1) Cosmetic body work refresh – quite a big job and struggling like hell to find someone to do it (some of you know about my struggles)!
2) Suspension refresh – I had planned to go the Bilstein B6/H&R route but have not found anyone (yet) who can supply B6s from stock for an 89 C4; seems to be a supply issue. I've had an enquiry with a well know Belgian supplier for a couple of months now and therefore I have started looking for alternatives, at the moment I'm investigating Silvers! Any hints on where I can source the Bilsteins would be much appreciated. I'm looking for a Euro purchase to take advantage of the exchange rate.
I have a few other jobs planned but one of my strategies will be to not make any changes that cannot be reversed, I'm quite like my cars provenance and prefer the option to reverse any modifications should I choose to do so. Another strategy is to do as much of the work myself and only use professionals for specialist work.
More to follow, it will be a slow burn but I have to start somewhere.
I need a name for the project; how about 'Bacchus to the future'?
Thanks
Steve
