My dad bought this 1987 930 Slant Nose new in 1987. I bought it from him in October and sent it to Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix for a complete refresh for its 30th birthday.
Pulled the motor and transmission for full rebuilds.
New Mahle piston and cylinder set to bump displacement from 3.3L to 3.4L, new 993 Supersport cams, new valves, springs, etc., new K27 7200 turbo, etc.
Strip and ceramic coat exhaust components. Strip and repaint muffler.
Completely remove factory A/C system and lines. Replace with modern components.
And a bunch of other, minor items.
Yeah, not factory original any more. Don't really care what this will do to resale value because I'm not going to ever sell the car, but I will drive it. It has approximately 89,000 miles on it already.
Patrick Motorsports facility. Lots of projects going on.
Disassembled block
Engine being reassembled
Exhaust components after ceramic coating
Empty engine bay prior to steam cleaning
Axles need some new boots!
Obligatory exterior shot
Wish I had more shots of the engine being built. I'll keep posting more updates as I receive them. This car was a blast to drive before. I can't wait to get it on the road after the rebuild is complete.
