Taking my '87 3.2 in for a rebuild in January - only 70,000 from new, but the oil leak is getting a little worse and the smoke on start up also, so figured i would bite the bullet and give it some love.

Whilst doing this, I am considering some upgrades such as the 3.4 Mahle Barell and piston set, exhaust and anything else (without incurring massive cost!) worth considering without changing the look of the car.

Has anyone done this? Is it worth it for the extra power? Anyone got any suggestions of what else i should consider whilst it's in for a rebuild?

PS: It is booked in with SCS Porsche in Honiton.
