Always that funny Eric!! (haha the white monster, haha..)

Mods?? You bet it will be mods during this winter.

And maybe yes it can be a bigger Turbo (or 2).

And after tips from this forum I started to build Headers in stainless stell.

Yes I have build the exhaust my self, it´s kind of tuff work to make them go straight out I tell you.

And sorry guys for that wrecked pic, I now it´s not fun to see but just to picture the hole story you now.

Mikkel,

Do you drive your Carrera everyday (to work, etc)?

Or is it just a toy? :) It's even lower than mine!!

Hey Racemor.... beautiful 911E;)
What's the colour ?

Thanks, I put it back to it's original '73 silver. No cool name, like "signal" silver, or anything, just silver. I liked the blue but took the opportunity to put it back to the way it came, in color anyway. ;)

I usually drive it every day as long as the weather is resonable. I really hate speedbumps though. Oh and right now it's snowing so no Porsche driving.... :(

oops... from the pic I thought it was still a light metallic blue colour...?:confused:

What, you don't like silver?:D It was blue when I bought it but it is silver now. Best I can tell, it was close to gemini blue. But having seen some of the other blues in person I know it was not medium blue metalic, which I thought may have been the other possibility.

Do engines count?

Here's mine...

1988 Carrera 3.2 Cabrio Turbo Look. Original colour was 'Lagoon Green, which I thought was hedious. Repainted to 'Expresso', with Strosek styled front and rear bumpers.

By the way, I'm from Malaysia, and the photos of the current car was taken at the car park of the Sepang F1 Circuit, it's a cloudy 32C today....

Thanks Wayne for a great website, and looking forward to receiving my service parts!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/PORCHER.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/100-0055_IMG.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/100-0058_IMG.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/100-0060_IMG.JPG

Uhh, I hope that door that's open behind you in that shot, wasn't to the house :)

Nice cars! I wish I had taken more pics of the process! I took mostly Polaroid's, so I could figure out where things went when putting it back together. I hate all those pesky leftover parts! :D

OK I'll join in
 

Great thread!

I don't have any before on this computer and it isn't really finished but here is a during and a more or less finished w/ some photoshop help on the wheels that are at Al Reeds at present.

I brought it back to the original Mexico Blue from the white that it had been since about 1980. You can see some of the original blue paint in the first two pics.

Strosek styled side skirts, aero mirrors, 996TT tailpipes (bought it on UK ebay for a tenner!)

Still to do - 964 reflector and tailights, replace damaged rear sway bar, and a new set of carpets.

Success!
 

I am happy to be in the position to reply to this post. WHat started out as a 2 month restoration project ready for the first day of summer turned out to be an all summer long progect because of a dropped valve...(maybe I'll get a couple weeks of driving in this summer/fall). Now with a new top end and a bunch of electrical work the car is almost complete. Just one more week or so to get it certified and licensed...an eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
