The ultimate update thread
Well backdating is fun and all but i was wondering if anyone has 'updated' their cars. Anyone do 996 door panels or boxster shifters or anything? Please post your updates/ customs!!!
Everything and anything counts!!!

PS: I hit him at about 20 and his car is raised in the back and mines lowered in the front and his rode up mine like a ramp... just backwards! The stang crushed the front bumper, hood, and then the fender being torn off

Speaking of backdated cars - I wonder how many people would be interested in buying one?
I know I would not. I wouldn't know what parts to buy, plus I'd wonder if putting Part A from 1991 with Part B from 1982 would eventually cause some kind of problem. I wonder what perceptions are of resale value on hybrid cars?

i dunno about resale..... but what we mean by backdating or updating is usually referring to exterior and interior designs and such

I drilled a hole into the trunk where the antenna connection is located on the window frame.. then I need the antenna amplifier. I read here that you can use a piece of long wire on the outside of the window that is tucked under the rubber if you don't use the newer antenna windshield. You gotta snake the wire outside. It was covered on this BBS within the past 2 or 3 weeks

I built this car on a '75 S. I guess you could call it a mild update.

I dont have any interior pics. But it was mostly stock with RSA doorpanels and a rollbar.
