The car started life as a silver metallic 1984 911 Targa Carrera
Then was purchased in running condition in 1988 from a used car lot in Georgia. It was later fitted with steel 930S vented flares , steel boxed rockers , fiberglass 930s front , 8 x16 & 10 x 16 gold BBS wheels and painted red.

It was rescued from a abandoned restoration and slow death uncovered in a Florida back yard where it was slowly sinking into the soft sand for a number of years. This is where the story begins!

After hauling it from Florida in its Mad Max condition I totally disassembled the car and steam cleaned it.

Problem 1: After removing the front fenders and gas tank I discovered that the old battery had spilled acid and rust - rot had eaten the front pan and weakened the front suspension pickup points.

Solution : Ordered new pan from Restoration Design, cut out old pan, welded in new one and finished the seams.

Problem 2: Engine was shot, wiring was shot (mice), trans was not 100%, (stock) suspension was shot.

Solution : Built a car stand , dropped engine and sold it on e-bay, removed ALL of the cars wiring , set 915 tranny aside for a rebuild , removed all of the front and rear suspension.

Problem 3: Upon striping the car I discovered evidence of a number of poor quarter panel repairs, the door skins were badly dented and filled with bondo, and the galvanizing had been previously removed with a wire grinder.

Solution : Ordered new door skins from Restoration Design , cut the rear quarters off two inches from the bead, and primed the bare metal with House of Kolor two part primer.

Ok, so here is where I take a moment to evaluate what I had gotten into. I had a good targa uni-body, a usable 915 tranny, and a bunch of parts that I would not put back into a car that I would want as a daily driver. I spent a lot of time trying to decide what to do and was leaning toward a 74RSR theme but it was a Targa...

Then I drove a friends 2002 Viper and we trounced a 930 in Dallas without too much effort. This got me thinking of the time I was severely trounced while driving a upgraded 930 in Atlanta by a GT flared 914. Upon catching up with this burgundy 914 at the local mall the driver showed me the 350V8 where the 1.7L should be. He took me for a spin ( literally ) and let me take it for a run around the parking lot. Cold AC and 400HP Hmmmmm....

This is when I decided that this 911 had been abused to the point that I would just go ahead and do something crazy with it, so I took it to the drawing board with catalogs in hand.

Goal: A very expensive looking bastardized German HotRod that would be grossly overpowered and retain street legal reliability.
