I love how everyone thinks a crushed nose on a Ghia necessitates 'needs a little body work'

Good luck...

$10K on parts alone is in the ballpark. I overhauled a 2.7 and 3.0 911's and it can typically run $14-16K if it is done CORRECTLY. (and you know how I like to machine things) Wink

^ cheers
I have a feeling that engine hasn't been machined to your standards!


That in my eyes is the perfect sleeper. The sound would give it away in about 2 seconds though!
