TE911 Posted 27October, 2015 Report Share Posted 27October, 2015 Hi everyone,Our project is about to start.We have only done a few things since we got the car from QLD like a service and new wheels and tyres. Nothing majorThanks to Coastr we were able to find a good base.Before: Taken by CoastrNow:The plan for the exterior is to keep the 964 look, replace the wing with a ducktail, replace the SC side skirts with 964 side skirts and some new paint. This will all be done by our good friend John from Zag Automotive.Ive been playing around on Photoshop and here is what it will look like. Still unsure which colour to go for.As for the interior we are going to delete the rear seats for a half cage. Its going to be reupholstered in black top to bottom with some alcantara, RS door cards and new front seats. Remove the 12 speakers, 2 amps and the jungle of wires so we can hear that 3.2 rumble.More pictures to come once the ducktail arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 Stay with yellow, less work and expense, unless that's not an issue.Personally I would keep the RS wing, add turbo flares and Speedline wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 Where did you get those choice of colours from - are you just playing with contrast/brightness in photoshop? Can I ask what the original colour of the car was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky looks good on 964'sWe were going to keep the colour as is ( apparently its a Lamborghini pearlescent colour ) but it wasn't done right and every panel has a different shade. We want the paint work to match the new interior.So we were going to do speed yellow but then thought about all the other colours we could paint.Okay so blue is the colour i chose, preferably riviera blue.Orange is the colour my dad chose, which i think is too loud of a color.And viper green was another colour that just got thrown in.

Can I ask what the original colour of the car was? We always liked Porsches bright colours.haha no i didnt play with the contrast/brightness on photoshop, all you have to do is go to Image scroll down to Adjustments then click Replace colour. I looked in the smuggles box and the original colour looks like it may have been indiana red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poli84 Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 I agree with the IROC bumpers. Ditch the 964 look, wing and Cups. IROC and Fuchs all day long.Viper Green for a full re-spray or if you want to just do a sand back and top coat and keep the yellow, then swap to this yellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too keen for the rs front in the bright colours. I agree with the IROC bumpers. Ditch the 964 look, wing and Cups. IROC and Fuchs all day long.Viper Green for a full re-spray or if you want to just do a sand back and top coat and keep the yellow, then swap to this yellow: I also thought of restoring it back to original, impact bumpers, fuchs and original colour but my dads had his share of original P-cars and whats to have fun with this one.Any of those colours look awesome to me ...............this should be a great build looking forward to it .......................Thanks Raven, were looking forward to it to. Just need to chose one of these colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch-monkey Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 We have been considering the iroc rear bumper. Not too keen for the rs front in the bright colours. not the iroc front- i mean more the SC/RS style. runs two fender coolers rather than a big single. more street friendly ground clearance.http://www.eb-motorsport.co.uk/productinfo.asp?id=302 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
