Most of you know the story... not really a before/after transformation.

Hey, that's ME! (Standing next to/behind Jack Olsen's car, taken at Ventura Autofest. That's my father's rear end next to me; not his best feature!)

I only wish my car was as nice as any of those in the "R Gruppe" corral. As we speak, my car has it's hind quarters jacked up, waiting for me to rebuild the motor and stuff it back under her. Then it'll be time for paint, interior, and misc other stuff, and then finally, some track events. I'd post pictures but I think my car would be too embarrassed to be seen in it's current state.

Happy New Year to all
Jim

ok, these are REAL crappy pictures,. taken WAY before digital cameras. I cant find the other ones right now. I seem to have a bad habit of not taking pictures of my stuff. I took no pictures of the complete transformation of my SC to the C2Turbo Hybrid either!! But here is some early cars i have had.

Michael, interesting that you posted that picture of the 911 on the forklift, I actually owned that car for a brief period of time. When researching it's VIN number, *9115600268*, I looked it up on the Internet, one site listed it as a 75 Carrera, but also fell within the range for an IROC. Obviously the body is not that of an IROC, so I dismissed it as possibly an error in research. I decided to call PCNA and asked them about it, the guy said "definitely a Carrera, it could be an IROC". Huh? I tried to sound calm, but it was Porsche themselves telling me this. I asked him if he could verify this with records in Germany, he said no, but he would ask around, which he did but no further information. In researching IROCs, ok in '74 they used Camaros, not RSRs (against). I looked for visual clues to an IROC or not, the only things I could find were that this tub has bracing on the rear shock mounts (in favor), and that it has a sunroof (against). And obviously the Carrera flares (against).

http://www.irocracing.com/History/1974/1974_photo_album.htm

So, I'm no Porsche historian or anything. The best I could come up with is that this car possibly was slated to be built into an IROC, as they seem to have handbuilt them from cars off the line, but instead was left as a Carrera.

Thanks Michael, it was good to see Tiffany again :)

Very interesting story. The body actually looks pretty straight on that car. It would be a great car to use like Jack is using. It's funny, I just picked that car because it was white and looked like it had seen better days. I wonder what's happened to it?

plain fan 01-01-2003 10:14 AM

ZAMIRZ, what color is your 911??

Jocke 01-02-2003 12:49 AM

Gives me hope for my ol' 911 to be someday transformed into......a even better ol' 911.

Jocke, your car looks awesome. Funny how an accident that looks better after you repaired it than before it was damaged turns out...:D :D :D :D

My before and after
 
Also a good candidate for the "Built in the smallest garage" trophy. I did most of the work in a single car garage, I'd have to slide it to one side of the garage in order to work on the side of the car, then slide it over to work on the other side.
