Chaps,
I'm relatively new to posting on the forum (rarely post due to work/family/unsociable lifestyle etc). I'm not really the best at write-ups but hope to share my experience of a 964 RS Build that will be going on through 2016/17.
The project commenced a few months ago and the inspiration for the project came from a 964RS Rep that was being sold at JZM a few years ago. Unfortunately I didn't have the readies at the time and the car subsequently sold soon afterwards.
I only discovered later on it was purchased by a forum member (Jaap) and documented on numerous posts.

Having researched and spoken to everyone from 9m, JZM, Strasse, SpeedService and a few more, I settled on going with Jasmine to work on the build. My objective was simple. To restore a 964 and upgrade it to an RS spec with the aim of:
- Driving it regularly
- To be able to take it on track
- On the school run
- Pottering around town
- Regular spirited drives
- Intercontinental roadtrips
- To not be precious about it like my other cars
- Be able to sell it with ease (should I need to feed the kids, pay mortgage, etc)
- To experience the adrenaline of being involved and funding a project like this
Hope to update you all on the next few posts with progress soon...
