At Willow Springs in January, there was a late-model Carrera done up to look exactly like the UPS Porsches in Europe. The car was very cool looking.

I believe that the local UPS car also has the clever additional painted script on the door that says: "Driver has no money."

The previous incarnations of your car were indicative of someone very skilled. It would be a shame not to keep it that way.

The previous skilled body and paint guy was our very own KevinP73. He's also the guy doing the current update of, uh, what a lawyer might call: 'BB2(b).'

[Jack Olsen]

Kevin made the previous black paint look great:



But look at the leading edge of the rear flare:



That was from too much of this:

Dirty or not Jack, She's a killer

[k9handler]

I have yet to manage to get BSY1 repainted for the first time, and Jack has BB2 in for the....I lost count! lol

BSY1 = Baby ***** Yellow One.

I can't wait to see the car when done, some of the best threads on this forum are from when Kevin has a car in his hands for some paint!

[JackMan]

As David Hobbs would say, "A man with really, really big attachments would go with the Flat Black."

Then you could do this entire Star Wars theme on your 911. You could even model your racing suit and helmet after Darth Vader.... oh mercy. Back to my coffee.

Keep on Mr. Olsen. Great car whatever color you decide to put on its skin.

I was hoping Jack would spring for the twin turbo kit in the classifieds. Evil I tell you.

Nope, not in the Engineering & Construction world. It is a revision of an existing version, therefore BB2.1

Jack, Since it will be as freakin beautiful as it has ever been, how about larger rock guards on the leading edge of the rear flares than before and since you KNOW what happens to the front fascia, use the clear film stuff? Overall the car will stay looking Kevin-fresh a hell of a lot longer. Just my $.02

in aerospace, no change in "fit, form, or function" is just a Rev change: BB2 Rev A, or BB2A.

Freak em all out and paint it white. But we all know the best color would be blue.

[Brother]

Porsche's are silver. They look good in many colors, but the natural state of a Porsche is silver. Ferraris are red, corvettes are plastic, and vw's are rust.

As in Light Blue Metallic that Kevin recently did for Brillo

Jack front mud flaps , yep even the factory used them on the later c2 turbos like 93-94, i put on auto zone no names after sand blasting my rear fenders with rocks and garble had them repainted put mud flaps on and no more problems, Kevin

[DJC911]

I've always been partial to the 70's racing colors... but any Porsche with flared fenders looks best in Black. I always liked Minerva Blue, too, though I've never seen it on a wide body car before (anyone have pics?) And there was a darker silverish color that Porsche had in the late 80's that was nice...esp. with lipstick red interior.

[Flyer88]

A friends 79 930. He has since painted the wheel centers flat black as well.

[Wrecked944]

Just curious: What has become of the project to revive BB1? Did they give up or is the BB1 resto going to be a Pelican-sponsored community project and the subject of Wayne's next book?

[Shuie]

Yeah, I guess Black 'works' on this car

Problem is: I really love the way the car looks in black.

I've always assumed the tub was always silver. But I never even checked the tag. Kevin knows, I'm sure.

Jack points out a simple universal truth in Porsche's.. Black is simply the ONLY color to have...... and I have a blue one, it will simply never be as cool as the black one. Kinda like having an ugly kid, you love em just as much, but you'd rather look at the other one..
