Thought I’d start a build on my 911.
No plans to do anything major to it. Just a tidy up really. Biggest job will be to put an interior in it. Still getting ideas together for that.
The first little projects so far:
Added side mirrors.
Tidy up the deck lid grille which I painted black. Couldn’t work out how to remove the chrome 2.7 badge, so ended up just taping it up. Turned out OK.
Kane at Zuffenhaus organised them. Not sure where he ordered them from, but they were roughly the same price as I could get them myself through Design 911.
Yeah, I’m not sure I want to get rid of them just yet. I used to hate them, but they’re growing on me. I did wonder if anyone’s ever made a slightly smaller version of them. Maybe something closer to the 901 types
🤔
Well spotted. 2 door sedan from the US with an Sr20det. I’m impressed you can tell it’s a 2 door from that photo
🤘🏼
Yeah it’s beautiful. Not mine I’m afraid.
I saw some on a car in the US somewhere that were at least half the thickness of the Australian ones. I vaguely remember the owner cut the horrendously massive US ones and sealed them back up
After an hour or so, I haven’t found it yet
🤦🏼♂️
The silver trim window frames look awful on this car. The previous owner had painted them black at some point, and only removed 90% of the paint when they’d decided to go back to silver.
I wasn’t sure how difficult it’d be to remove the remaining paint so I did a test this morning with some polish and a Dremel.
Thankfully, it came off relatively easily, but I now have several hours in front of me to get them looking good.
i also can’t rule out finding some damage under the paint. Maybe there’s a reason they were painted in the first place.
Hopefully the work will be well worth it.
Sadly, I can nearly guarantee that mate
Most paint them when they start to see the brass coming through, as having them stripped and recoated isn't that cheap.
@AndrewW
wrapped his old Carrera frames himself. Labour intensive job, yet you could hardly tell it was chrome vinyl , so that might be an option for you if you know of a vinyl wrap mob in your state. Or have a crack yourself
I did find that car, but didn’t think it was the one. I don’t mind the look of them… but wonder how a standard bumper would look without the custom slots. Possibly too much flat space either side of the number plate?
Will do some more research on those Fiat bumperettes.

Thanks Hugh. And thanks for all the insight leading up to the purchase of this car.
Yeah, I’m liking the overriders more and more. I want the car to look simple and classic… not super modified.
HI Folks,
Just wondering if anyone has restored or backdated their G series Dash?
Mine needs some love, but I'm not sure where to start. Would love to back date it, but don't want to spend 2k doing it, if I can get it looking good with a bit of a tweak.
Aside from fixing the stereo delete panel, it also has some alignment issues.
Would love to see some before and after images along with what products you used.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Moved house recently and have now had some time and space to work on the old banger.
Changing my Recaros to some Tilletts.
I bought Tillett mounting brackets back when I thought I’d put them in a different car, and the brackets sit the seats super low.
I haven’t put the drivers seat in yet, but I suspect it’s going to be too low, as my chin barely sits above the dash.
Is there a rule of thumb for sitting too low? If not, I’ll put the drivers one in tomorrow and take it for a drive I guess.
