Porsche build thread: "there is no substitute... for far too expensive decisions."

[aar0n.]

thanks meng, maybe ill roll out tomorrow night!

No more local gtgs for me since I moved into the city

[ChiTownA34DR]

In for later.

You know, I didn't know if I was going to like those seats in the car. With the interior all redone, I have to say the way they stand out makes the car. Well done.

[Troy Shark]

[jazzcat2001]

love it

[FACTORYBOOST]

Interior looks . In for more.

WOW.

Everything you've done gets full approval and I'm jealous as hell. That interior looks great now.

X2!!!

[Mike!]

I love 964s, and it's great to see you taking such good care of yours. That car will treat you well for decades to come after everything you've done for it.

[71DubBugBug]

your latest choice of wheels look much better than the twists!

I assume as these are getting older, theres a DIY for just about everything online?

also good to see you caring for a classic Porsche

[arethirdytwo]

Of course there is a black '91 20 minutes away on CL...

A lot of things are interchangeable with 993's so theres a vast online community between pelicanparts and rennlist, so mostly everything has some form of DIY on it. And since it really is such a talked about car most things have too much debate and discussion on them.

Nice! I wish I could do something like that. But. Why RS style door panels and a Momo(?) steering wheel like that but then stock, non-sport seats? I would've picked some Sparco or Recaro racing buckets. Not a big fan of either wheel choise, either. I would've gone with Cup I's.

PM me your paypal address and I'll promptly send a money request to fund some sportier seats.



I got the seats for $300 and they came with a set of chrome 7 slots, which I sold for $200.

Nicely done. I was going to attempt installing a new convertible top for our '55 356, but I've been advised to leave it to an expert.

What could go wrong?

you spelled "man" wrong you ****ing hipster.

still haven't been for a ride in it yet...

[tuddy]

on no occasion have i ever spelled "friend" wrong though.

[ilko]

Looks good! I'd get a set of aero mirrors and Recaro Pole Position seats. Now that your interior is all black you can ditch the cashmere comfort seats.

[GiacGtiAgain]

fair point. bring it over for a winterizing detail day sometime between now and, i guess, winter.

[Daskoupe]

link me to your FOCKING supplier!

[Tokyosmash]

Wouldn't have turned the speedo but the tach in my 911 was turned 45 degrees counter clockwise

[arethirdytwo]

Often times they are just experts because you don't see them kicking, fighting and swearing. I have seen your trailer build and have done a beetle and ghia top with my dad. Fun? No, but you could handle it.

[tomjava]

Nice work.

[miatafreak]

This is like my dream. Hopefully once I'm out of school I'll have the funds.

[silvermannn]

This is definitely the dream! Looking forward to more updates and changes, as are many of us!

[mikegilbert]

Your hard work really paid off. What a beautiful 964

[danny_16v]

wow man really enjoyed this.

for some reason I appreciate somebody that has a nice car but doesn't really have a huge lavish house and space to garage it... makes me feel better that I don't have a house or permanent garage for my M3 to sleep in

plus I like seeing all the work you do without a real work space and how nice your 911 is coming out, I really like the RS carpeting and the door panels. Those Turbo twists look right at home... the CCW's look alright too

[reticulan]

great job. awesome car.

[dubjager]

Beautiful work. A lot of dedication. In the next 2 years I want to buy myself a 964. Like you it is a dream car of mine. They are just perfection in every single way.

Can't wait to see what else you did with it. Pelican is a great site too!

[Dandbest]

Wow, a lot of work went into this car. It sure is pretty, but I can't help but think that the EVO you sold was faster, handled better and was more reliable in every way...

[greyvdub]

No more local gtgs for me since I moved into the city

What part? Gramercy here

[MRVW00]

At first I was afraid this was going to be a trainwreck. It's hard to modify the finest Weissach und Stuttgart built.

Then I saw the black with tan seats, and the clunky airbag wheel delete and I approved

[stascom]

[davidraeside]

Nice work! Looks seriously awesome... but that picture of rolling the fenders with a baseball bat makes me insane with rage.

[Son]

PM me your paypal address and I'll promptly send a money request to fund some sportier seats.

Sorry, I just realized the cost issue after clicking "submit reply". See, in my daydreams, I own a 964 and have no financial constraints fixing and modding it.

[unimogken]

I need to sell a couple vehicles and start looking for one of these!
