Another Introduction

I am new to this board and wanted to introduce my 1982 911SC. I've had her for just over a year.

As a kid, I always wanted a Porsche. When I was 16 I had an orange 1973 Karmann Ghia - always pretended it was a 911 ... you can see some similarities.

My father calls my 911 a glorified Ghia ... kinda funny.

Anyhow, here are a couple of pics. Chiffon-Weiss with brown interior color combo. Mostly stock with the common upgrades - momo steering wheel, short shifter, etc.

Welcome to the Board, Craig. Great looking car. It is one of my favorite color combos. Are you coming up to Porschefest (PCA) in June?

One suggestion. . . Euro H-4's.

Very nice. Also my favorite combination, including the wheels and two-tone interior.

yes ... the H4s ... well, i will get around to that someday. Do you guys prefer that I keep them painted or leave them as they come in the kit (chrome!?)?

I'd like to find out more about the June event ... is it in NC?

Craig, Porschefest is the annual Carolina PCA gathering. It is in Charlotte this year. Follow this link: http://www.carolinas-pca.com/
Scroll down to the link for the April issue of Tobacco Roads. You'll find an application for the event as well as more info.

Awesome car and I really like the color! I'm not biased at all:

Although I have black interior, but at least you can see what the H4's look like.
Welcome to the addiction, enjoy!

Great looking SC! I love the color combo too. Very close to mine (GP white, burgundy interior). Hope to see you at PorscheFest! Of course, I have to make it too...



Later,
Mike

Thanks for the warm feedback.

Wow ... I never realized how much better the H4s looked. Now that I see the side-by-side comparisons, I think that will be my next upgrade.

So ... again ...should i get paintable or chromed?

Personal choice. My preference is the painted ring, especially with euro H-4's.

Nice car, Craig!

I like that brown interior. Here's my '84 in Chiffon white, but with Grey Beige inside. I'm going to upgrade to Euro H-4's soon too, and think the painted rims look better on this car than the chrome ones.

I have tried both the painted and chromed rings installed, and I liked the chromed ones better. I felt that since I don't have the white wheel rims, the chrome accented my rims better than the painted ones. (Just my .02)

I personally like painted rings on SCs and Carreras. Like everyone else has said though - personal preference.

Great pcar!
Nice color, I also have 84 Carrera in chiffon the brown interior. I was never a big fan of white cars but I do like the chiffon, it's a small club.
