I have been playing with a thought to make both of my 911 based turbo cars to be able to use two different bodyworks, which makes four different layouts altogether:

My grey 911 with the latest 964 turbo Strosek based outlook with my own bodyparts as published this summer would be sometimes doubled with 911 iroc rsr replicating look when necessary: tarmac rallies in Mediterrean with smaller brakes, 15" Campagnolo rally wheels etc. And as it is for now, it is a great track day car to keep in Nürburgring.

My grey 911 body photoshopped as now, photoshopped alternative color scheme.


My grey 911 body photoshopped with backdate parts to IROC RSR layout, photoshopped alternative color scheme.



My green 911 with its existing 930 Strosek based outlook with my own bodyparts as driven so far would be sometimes doubled with 935 K4 sharing bodywork for racing purposes and keeping narrow Strosek body when driven in street.

Grey is actually quite easy procedure to do it to be just bolt on solution, as I have already all necessary body parts including original metal front fenders with standard lights. Obviously green will be more hard to do for quick body change. Therefore especially rear archs with Strosek forms should be cutted and reinstalled with quick locks to be mounted precisely same mounting points with K4 bodywork.
But if I could make this possible, this way keeping up two 911 bodies with full technics and with 4 different purposes, I think it would be a interesting solution to stretch the usability of my sort of technically track and street proven 911 cores.

There is few such events I would like to join every now and then, and having separately four different looking, but in principal, plenty of similar parts using - quite equal to drive - 911s to join would sound more work to me, than doing some alteration in content of the car for some particular season to join and try to maintain these with proper attitude in between hard ride. And anyway, my grey and green with my modified bodyworks doesn't have any special collectible value whatsoever, so therefore nothing worthless anyway can happen . Grey is already in process to be capable of being double bodied, and I'm doing some serious reseach for the alterations of green. I know dP Motorsport is selling again original Kremer K3 and especially rare K4 bodyworks, the ones they developed for Kremer back then. I have been fond of one for tens of years and as I am dreaming of the 935 kind of intercooler arrangement replacing the rear seats and horisontal cooling fan, I wonder if to go further in replicating 935 gender appearance also for racing purposes with proper space for real fat slick tyres to kill the rest of the GT3 Cup (new ones) cars in club races
