Design by commitee
First off, let me just mention how great this board is to the average wrench turner. I've found many things to help me maintain my cars here. With that said, I'd like to throw another possible project out there.
Some time ago I purchased a sweet example of a 1982 911SC. I checked out the paperwork, Cardex, and every website to make sure that it wasn't anything "special". You see, the goal was to find a run-of-the-mill 911SC and modify it. The plan is to attach 930 turbo flares (Dansk), 993 front fenders (I know channel mods must be done), and SSI exchangers/dual muffler. The thing is I'm still playing with the idea of the front & rear bumpers (turbo 3-pc rear from Better Bodies look nice), and side skirts. After the modifications to the 993 fenders (inc. hood mods), finding skirts that will work with 930 flares and 993 fronts may be an issue. Any ideas or suggestions? Btw: the fenders are already purchased  Stutt928 1982 911SC (Platinum Metallic) 1983 928S (Black/Black) - sold 2002 Triumph Daytona 955i (Blue & "Bling") |

welcome home
advice: do whatever you like , keep in mind that when you goto sell, if you sell, your preference may dictate the final price you get. just enjoy the car and enjoy the work. I have almost as good a time driving my p-car as i do under it, or just staring at it in the garage or driveway. Keep in mind I said almost also before anyone else yellspictures please |

The topic of this thread gives me the shivers. Anytime we have to "design by committee" at work it ends up sapping us of any and all creativity.
+1 on do what suits YOUR tastes. GO BUCKEYES!

Don't worry. The "Design by committee" title is just a title. I have an idea of the look, and that FVD conversion is extremely close. The trick is that the quarters and fenders have to be steel. Fiberglass is for skirts and bumper skins.
I think the overall look should be nice. BTW: BUCKEYES?!? Bah!! I'm a transplant, ILLINI RULE! |
