Biggest weight gain from a longhood to the SC are the bumpers, tires and A/C. Only the tires are still there. Just gorgeous! I'd marry that car. |

That looks really good. How did you finish the oil lines?

Outstanding vehicle!
Where can one buy the yellow/zinc hose clips? I prefer those to SS Also the fuelcap sticker is pretty confronting!

The Porsche logo was applied a little unsteadily......

Bet it looks OK at speed. Actually, if you look at it, it does follow the door gap and looks like the door is closed too much. |

Fortunately for me my local mechanic stocks 'correct' stuff and has most of the yellow zinc stuff on hand. You might want to try a specialist mechanic nearby. Even if he doesn't stock them he may be able to throw your original stuff in his next batch of replating.

You guys are fussy
 That's not a bad thing. I guess I was just 'blinded' by how good the overall package is.

Sweet looking car! I've been collecting parts to do basically the same thing. Love the way this turned out!

Beautiful. Love the color. Clean, spoilerless front and rear look great.

Really nice....
But, I think the old "SC" wasn't that bad....I'm a bit biased though, I have an '82 in the same color (956 - pewter in U.S. brochures I think).
What size rims & tires are you running? That wheel & tire combo really makes it stand out. I can't imagine it would do anything to the value but add to it - SC's are very "overlooked" 911's these days. It seems most people want a mint, low mile SC for around $15k, which seems a bit low (bias again...). Looks fantastic, and no sunroof - try to find that on a post '74 U.S. 911! Any go-fast engine/transmission/brake mods? |

Duuuuuude! Nice. Thanks for sharing these pics.
But do you have any pics of the journey from stock SC to backdate? This is like catching the first and last 3 minutes of a cooking show where you see the ingredients and then the finished dish...

One of the nicest I've seen. I'm in love with your car. Glad I don't have to do anything to my '69 to make it look like that. I'd take your car before the backdate. Wow!
