Another newbie
 
Stumbled across these forums and really enjoyed the place - great tone of voice and content.

Been on a six month hunt for a 911 turbo older than '82, which happily ended a week ago. First Porsche. Nervous. Happy. Cheshire Cat syndrome: "My husband's disappeared again!? Must be off in that new car..."

Will post a photo when I get online with computer.

Very nice. Going back to OEM Fuchs will be expensive!

+1 and look great, too

I like the steering wheel, except maybe the chrome ring. It might be possible to remove the ring and install with black screws and no ring.

Thinking that replica Fuchs are the way I'll go. And seen an old three spoke steering wheel on eBay I an stalking

I'd put a 930s steering wheel in it.
