clutch-monkey Posted 9May, 2017 Report Share Posted 9May, 2017 Cops give it a thumbs up? That's what I thought (and rather immodestly I think I have a well executed classic).My colour? Jellybean Mexico Blue.Got pulled over while crawling at 30km/h about 100m from home (Blues Point Road and Harbour Patrol Police for the Sydneysiders).Defect notice comprised of: Window Sticker too deep (Porsche 911 50 year anniversary - the same one worn by the Police Panamera)Steering Wheel not padded (Momo Mod 78)Roll cage (I had already replaced the perfectly expensive welded cage for an even more expensive bolt in. At the time of defect I still had the front section bolted in)Seats not ADR (Momo)Sliders not engineered (welded to floor)Exhaust too loud (I had an M&K on at the time. It took me two stock exhausts and two attempts at the EPA to pass by the skin of my teeth)I wasn't fast. I wasn't loud.But I was bright Blue.Would I change the colour though? Not for the world.And any excuse to show it off again ...sounds unlucky! I traversed most of qld and nsw in my car several times (including times like a trip to Batemans bay on Australia Day), with no front number plate to boot, and never got hassled.I drove a wrx sti for a week and got pulled over immediately haha.

Raven Posted 9May, 2017 Report Share Posted 9May, 2017 From memory I think pre 73 or around that time Porsche painted the engine bays black ,,then somewhere in 73 they started to paint them in the body color .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 9May, 2017 Report Share Posted 9May, 2017 @turboT. Images below collected with great care for image quality and consistency. All are from for sale ads from reputed houses so they aren't wankers having a guess at what's right. Nor am I. They are very similar in some instances, but in the end the yellow is more yellow and the orange is more orange which is comforting in a world gone mad.FYI the RSR from Canford I posted above is Signal Orange, not Yellow as I had suspected.Signal Yellow aka an orangy yellowSignal Orange aka a yellowy orangewould be happy with both. Ever since I saw a rusting yellow 912 on my street I have a softspot for a bit of sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 17May, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 17May, 2017 Hmmm, I wonder how that rumour started. Ah. I didn't know who Louie was until today. The owner of the SY car at Elwood RSR Cars N Coffee put me onto him. Now I know what you were on about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know what you were on about .My mistake. I thought every air-cooled owner knew Louie at Motion Automotive. If they don't, they need to introduce themselves. He's old school and knows his Porsches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 21May, 2017 Report Share Posted 21May, 2017 If you have to... This one is boss:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/220516-check-out-new-project-69er-39.htmlEspecially how he painted the wheels...That is Mike's car who I met at Luftgekuhlt. He is the guy with his parents ashes mixed into the primer. His colour it 'Rando' Grey. As you can guess, it is just a made up colour that he liked. I must say, that there was an Aubergine 911 at Luftgekuhlt that really pulled you in. Gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbee Posted 21May, 2017 Report Share Posted 21May, 2017 Ah yes, good old "rando grey"... grey but with a hint of bone, a spoon of flesh, a sprinkle of ash!! (Sick yes! But he started it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 29May, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 29May, 2017 Guessing you'll be painting it Silver then?Spot on .Parts have started arriving from Patrick Motorsport. Delivery 1 of 4. Bonnet / engine lid straps, oil pressure sender for gauge and light, G50 shift rod adaptor, beautiful WEVO short shifter, and my personal favourite, dual airhorns!Engine and gearbox work should start this week at Cairns and chassis is underway at Skunk. Classic Retrofit AC is now a month late on schedule and due end July. According to Jonny it's getting the blower unit 100% right that caused the delay. Looks pretty spunky to me, and worth the wait I reckon. CAD Render below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch-monkey Posted 29May, 2017 Report Share Posted 29May, 2017 i think you'll like the retroair unit.as mentioned in other thread, i made something similar for my E9 and am really happy with how it works.worth it in a 911 to have such a neater engine bay as a result, let alone AC that actually works.
