New P Car TODAY !!!!!!!

1983 Euro 930, original paint, original interior in excellent condition.....70K miles.
Original Ruby Red Metallic.....I thought I wouldn't like it so much, but I do, it's different.
Car is in great shape......had a really good PPI. Just got it an hour ago.....won't be able to drive it until I get the appraisal tomorrow morning.
I had been secretly planning mods already, new turbo, bigger IC, then I drove her....holy FUCH.....I think I need to relax, and just learn to drive this before I get carried away making her faster......
Thanks for looking, I am a happy guy today......

Okay, I picked up a B&B stainless muffler, and a polished stainless Wastegate pipe, some Rennsport SS Turbo sill plates.....but that's it for now.....really!

Now THAT'S the right way to start a weekend! Congratulations on a very nice looking car.

P.S. I might suggest you consider having those H4 headlight rings painted to match the bodywork. But that's a great looking car regardless.

Thumbs up Where to start, where to start.....

Very cool! I'd say ruby red headlight rings, maybe raise the rear just a touch, and then enjoy your prize!
Then wait awhile and see the pics of mine when I get one into my garage!
I have begun to like those................

I am jealous. I have an 83 US cabriolet, also Ruby Red, but with grey-beige interior. I was fine with that until I saw you interior. That looks really nice. Great car! Enjoy!

I like the light interior.....

I wasn't looking for a particular colour, it just worked that way....I was shopping for leakdown numbers, which were 5, 6 and one 7, on a cold motor.....by the time he got to the cylinders, she was cold.....

I will paint the headlight rings in the spring, when I paint the front bumper and valance.....they are chipped, likely the hood too.....

The B&B was a score.....I called a used Porsche parts place about 2 hours from my place, and they had it, almost new, for $250 CAD, so I couldn't say no.

Thanks for the compliments.......

Oh yeah, the gauge in the photo on the lower console is an aftermarket boost gauge.....it's coming out this weekend.....the factory one works fine.....

NICE!! I love the colour! Man, that looks good! Are we going to see it at any of the Sat. am meets in Mississauga? I know it's a ways, but I'd love to see it! Or maybe at the track next summer.

Congrats!

Stunning car Mark! I love the wheels.

As others have said.......welcome to the dark side!!

That sucking sound you hear is your wallet emptying for mods, synthetic oil, premium gas, and carnuba.

Nothing quite like owning something that can scare you anytime you like......enjoy!! Be careful until you get used to it.

Try and bring it out one of these Saturdays before the snow hits.

Congrats on the new car, Mark. I'm glad it worked out. Too bad winter is just around the corner . . .

Awesome Turbo.

What is wrong with keeping it stock?

Congrats!
Matt
