Well... RSR is not done and here I am starting another project...
Anyway... car is an 1981 SC. Picked it up a few weeks ago. Several boxes of parts. Stripped interior, a few rust spots, engine with CIS apart... yeah, crazy, I know. But previous owner looks like a decent fellow. If the engine and tranny are healthy it was a fair deal for both of us.
The idea is to use
Derek's car as inspiration and get it ready as quickly as possible so that it does not sit for 5 years like the RSR did. I want to finish it and keep it until my son is ready for his driver's permit. I promised I will give him this car when he is ready (he just turned 10 on September 13).
Some elements that I want in this project:
1. Chrome mirrors (circa 1973)
2. Center filled gas tank
3. Spartan interior. RS carpets (which came with the car)
4. Some old style Recaros or seats from vintageseats.com or from GTS Classics, or... The sport seats that came with the '81 car I will be using in the RSR
5. Silly stuff, but I want a clock with the Tag Heuer logo in it...
6. For the interior, some black leather combined with caramel/tan leather, and some stainless steel or aluminum pieces with holes in it... still thinking...
7. I have a couple of rear engine lids, so thinking of having them painted all the same color so I can select from Duck Tail (this one I need to order), No tail, RS Tail...
8. Not sure if I will polish the trim pieces or paint them black, or paint (or powdercoat) them the same color finish as the wheels...humm
9. Love the Jade Green Metallic, but not sure if it will look good with the lines of the 911... so going with Aquamarine Blue (non metallic) 356 era
Color: Aquamarine Blue Non-Metallic (Porsche Aquamarinblau from 1957-1959)
Reutter Nr. 707
Porsche Nr. 5707
10. Headers (no-heat) with dual outlet exhaust
11. Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel - Silver
12. Dash/instrument panel painted in the same color of the car. Love how that looks on the RSR project so I want the same for this one.
13. Four Porsche Aluminum Valve Stem Support for Fuchs wheel - I just think they look cool and give the valves/wheels a nice finishing touch.
I will continue to update the list as I get comments from all of you and look at other things that would make this car look cool.
Day we collected the car:
And a few boxes with parts (so glad I took a friend's Tundra! )
Front and Rear RS styled fiberglass bumpers - Do not know where the parts came from...
4 Rota Fuchs styled 17" wheels (2-17" x 7.5 Front and 2-17" x 9 back )
