turboT Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 been banging on about getting my 964 backdated (singer style) since I got it. Work/life got in the way. Autohaus seem to have lost interest ( making way more cash servicing cars than building them) and ZAG have a 2 year waiting list. Buy the time I get around to this the world will have moved on and the cool cats will be putting electric motors in modified boxters. Maybe I should just respray my 930 'Steve McQueen grey' and be done with it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 it IS a lot of work for what is essentially a cosmetic upgrade(? debatable).and from the driver's seat it is a bit hard to see the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJM Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Leave the 930 & just hot rod the 964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claywong Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 I think you just got in at the wrong time :(. My mechanic working on my NSX is also constantly delaying and delaying my build for that exact same reason.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corki944 Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 TurboT,You have two (sorry three) fantastic cars in the 930t and the 964 and IMO i would keep them the way they are and make subtle but nice individual changes.In particular your 964 is amazing as it is and just needs some individual touches. Thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Or share in my dream of a covin hotrod build....though there are plenty of other shops who'll be more than happy to take your folding...worth looking further afield, if you can deal with a more remote build experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corki944 Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 you are right of course, but the idea of creating a one of one has a lot of appeal...one dayI agree with the one off appeal for sure, but that can be done with subtle changes also.I like your idea but the 964 in particular, IMO, is to nice to change dramatically.....Resurrect or 'save' a junker and start from scratch. You will feel much better afterwards and still have your hotrod or backdate but also have a wonderful 964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 3September, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 this is as far I got mucking around in a 3d program - this ain't no junker sirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corki944 Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Looks great.... certainly no junker i meant start with a junker and turn it into something special....but IMO i think your 964 is better as it is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Agree, the run of the mill backdate is a bit old hat but I love your 74 RSR ideaA$ isn't helping though Have you tried interstate?I'll just leave this here......http://www.mpmotorsport.com.au/I want that splitty!

edgy Posted 4September, 2015 Report Share Posted 4September, 2015 T Cancel all your plans for the last week of September, fly to US and meet me at Rennsport reunion.... I guarantee you will leave that event with "different" ideas! It's why I haven't acted on any big car commitments new or old... there is bound to be something awe inspiring that will send me (and you) one way or another.

Dusty Posted 4September, 2015 Report Share Posted 4September, 2015 Not sure on those TVR'esque inlets Turbo...Longhoods in my opinion, will always be desirable because they're the coolest Porsche as perceived by people who haven't always been interested in Porsche's. They bridge the divide. Many people still think our cars are for wankers with the exception of air-cooled, (predominately longhood) which mostly overcome the perception. To me they're understated, timeless performance cars and until that type of vehicle is no longer in demand, they should do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 4September, 2015 Report Share Posted 4September, 2015 You are asking the group what you should do with your car, you will get many opinions. Do what makes you happy But if you do want another opinion, don't back date it, I don't see the allure of it as I prefer the 964 styling over the longhoods and has been seen lately 964 prices are climbing!
