A lovely car with some nice details - but I think a change of those screws on the Wevo handles to black would be good?

Thanks Ralph. They are black but the silver shows through in the screw heads that's all. What I really need is some black plastic infills

En route to Wales earlier today

am just about to get my car back from Tuthills after having the snagging list done (fiddly stuff...nothing too serious)

unfortunately their book keeping process has sprung into life and I now have the final bill

partly as I was a bit light on detail compared to some other threads - and partly to show other potential restorers quite how involved this can be... here is the list of parts used that comes to £18k

note this is parts, not labour, and is ex vat

and is AFTER getting the shell to boxfresh condition (with many £ of new panels never mind labour and paint)

and doesnt include seats or wheels which I sourced myself

or anything used in the 911/83 engine rebuild 2 years ago OR the 915 gearbox rebuild

of course it can be done cheaper but if you want perfection (which for me was a usable day to day 72 high performance hotrod to my spec with everything refurbed or replaced) it doesnt come cheap.

the columns are RRP / Price charged / Qty / Total

are you ready?

am in love with the car and so is the other half and its not meant to be an investment, its simply the coolest thing I've ever owned and had a part in designing, so its all good ... but it does concentrate the mind with Mclaren 12c's at £120k...

Thank you very much Squirdan for sharing the list above! Normally people are gelous of private expenses but projects like this need big effort in money and spirit and any info shared is an help for anybody leading a restoration!

Obviously compliments for your car..I'm strongly convinced to restore my 911 to original Signalyellow but your amazing slate grey could influence crazy choice

Stunning list of parts, and then they all have to be fitted...

Thanks for that Dan,

Please can you list the part numbers!

Wow, thank you for sharing. If I wasn't already put off a project, I certainly am now!

Quite an eye opener.

£792 for a pair of chrome door handles and £482 for a pair of chrome headlamp rings!
But the wheels look fantastic Dan

Well, there are other ways of approaching a project. A Singer or Tuthill hotrod is a fantastic thing, but many DDK members on here have been able to build interesting and satisfying cars with budgets that are very different to Dan's.

I don't want to frighten myself with a build cost spreadsheet, but my 73.5 T project with a few nice bits will come in at less than you might expect.

PS Of course, getting the apprentice to build an engine by way of practise helps

That'll be a pair of chrome door handles and lock set. They are pricey from Porsche.
The headlamps will be for complete lamps.
Nothing untoward in those prices I'd say.
I'm familiar with a list like that, it's expensive to restore a Porsche properly.
Once you've done it you wonder why people pay so much for 'projects' on eBay.....

Dan's ended up with a wonderful car. And that costs. I'd rather have that car than a Mclaren.

It's expensive buying new parts from Porsche.
That isn't necessarily the only way to restore a Porsche properly!
For example new Porsche headlight reflectors are made in Czech Republic not Germany like the originals.

Thanks Paul. I'd like both! but I know which would be the more satisfying to own, drive, fettle and go on adventures with

There are many ways of owning or doing an early 911 and they are all valid. If I'd had a different budget I certainly would have gone down a different road and that would have been fine. Thankfully I made some tax free profits in wine in 2010/11

I just posted the list because I know how easy it is to forget / gloss over a lot of fiddly parts when you think about budgets. I only paid 6k for the car so I was happy to buy lots of new kit. But agree with Paul most project prices are bonkers now

It come down to how a car is done to personal choice.

Several absolute 100% cars on here and this shows on the bottom line.

Not all can go this financial route, some can and do and great to see the difference in cost to 'pro' build v 'DIY' build.

some of us love the DIY bit, less of a result in comparison maybe, but both loved to death which is all that counts.

I could not stand to do to Tuthill's for past reasons, but a pro built car must be superb to have and hard to be nervous of (in my mind) until the first scar appears.

Hat's off to those how do a Barry Shell and a big mechanical build replacing all potential worn parts.

Over the 26 years I've 'DIY'd' my 73T it has cost me about £25K inc the £3K to buy the wreck, expensive in '88, but a pair of Porsche rear wings were just over £500 then....

Variety is the spice of life.

Ps... The other half has gone to Tuthills to collect it today... She thinks it's sub zero cool

I mentioned the 12C and she said "only for men with small cocks"

Got to love a woman who can share your passion
