Coastr Posted 27July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 Funny about that Weissach edition - my 85 mph speedo was also swapped out, and I also have the original. Only issue is the original 85 mph speedo had the kmh increments on it, but the replacement speedo does not have the km. It's OK but does make me nervous with the tight increments that cameras have these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 27July, 2014 Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 You could always temporarily put some tape on the Speedo glass at 60,80,100? I did that in my beetle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 27July, 2014 Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 My wife's new car's "features" has this extremely annoying habit of saying "you're over the speed limit" and she won't let me turn it off. Problem is , it cannot read the many changing limits quick enough and even then , is wrong. So I end up telling it (NOT HER) to get... I digress! But tape is a good idea , and it's retro.

BAFE Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 love the colour, congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 congratulations! Looks great Given its originality I would only do a few things (famous last words I know) - ditch the enormous US bumperettes and ice-cream scoop headlight surrounds, H4 headlight upgrade, apply shark fins and give it a thorough service. Smells like an old car inside I'm endeavouring to bottle that. Eau de 911 would make a manly cologne methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep it original but May ROW spec some things over time like the lights and bumpers. Need to measure the ride height as well to see if it is US or ROW spec.

Caledonian Posted 2August, 2014 Report Share Posted 2August, 2014 I think I saw your car briefly at C&C yesterday, looked very clean and original. Welcome to the SC club and might see you at the next SMT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
