I'm wondering if anyone else follows the YouTube channel Garage Time. This is a weekly vlog from a guy named Tom Perazzo. While his projects are both Porsche, what I like is that his MO is similar to mine. He is not a professional car restorer - rather this is his hobby. He talks through pretty much everything he is working through, and many of his methods seem similar to mine. There are differences, too. But I enjoy it and find inspiration.
He's been finishing up a 911 retromod, and below is his summary of costs on that project:
The thing that shocks me about his cost summary is how much lower it is than anything we can touch with an e9, or frankly lower than what I understand as 911 costs. It seems to me you can't get into the 911 game for four times this much. So I don't know how it adds up.
He just returned to his 356 project, and this week he started with the steering box. Interestingly, I was just fooling around with my steering box last night, so the timing was perfect (even though his is a manual ZF box whereas my CS has the power steering ZF unit).
