Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

54 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, after several false starts, failed deals, auction stuff ups, misrepresentations, own goal errors and many other obstacles, this project has finally started. The premise is a safari style 911 but based on a cabriolet not a coupe.  Why?  Why not?  I think it will be fun - a concept lacking a little in recent times in the air cooled Porsche world as prices rise.  A parallel could be the Ducati Scrambler - think street bike with some classic off road style - as this is intended to be nothing more than a fun street car (that doesn't have to brake for speed humps).  Hopefully a few folk will enjoy it in the spirit it is intended - and the haters will have something to talk about... On Friday I took delivery of an 88 3.2 cab and the fun has begun.  Insta pics to follow. Next jobs are order the 195/70r15 rally tyres and get a roll hoop fabbed up. Light pod has arrived, lamps need to be sourced.

Marchal Amplilux...Monsieur . ? Almost as good as a 959 resurrection will it actually wear a bit of mud or should I forward you a mates number who is a scenic painter?

I'm not really planning on washing it - does that count?

POST 4Original post

Can't wait, so much love! I like a lot of the Baja/Dakar cues... I'd say style, but it's pure function first. Dont foget bad ass spare wheel carrier.

yep that and the odd spilt macchiato ?

POST 6Original post

Sounds like a great idea to me, much like this one Matt puts through its paces only without a roof so more connected to the environment.

POST 7Original post

Awesome to see another gravel slinging Porsche build on the way!

POST 8Original post

This looks awesome - can't wait to see the progress!

POST 9Original post

Great concept.  You've clipped its wing, is the windscreen delete next ?

POST 10Original post

always thought it was a brilliant idea for the cheaper targas and cabs! something to have fun with

POST 11Original post

a good way to get rid of the surplus stock cabrios. Now the next big question.... pre-date or post date or add more patina

POST 12Original post

@OBRUT needs to put THIS on his list for Santa.  When he gets serious about the build, invite the hoards to come and watch as he takes to the guards, ciggy hanging from his lower lip while the fanboys all get selfies with him.

Windscreen is staying, as is the roof.  Its even got A/C. No re-dating, although one wheel option is steelies which back date a tad.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A little more progress: 195/70R15

POST 18 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Progress.  1. Knobby tyres fitted to Steelies and 2. Steelies fitted to G series cab. I was going to get some Braid rally wheels but I think the Steelies looks rad - ergo: the steelies are staying Booked in next week to get the ride height raised another 1 to 2 inches - which will require a re-index of the torsion bars. The light pod has also arrived, as has the lamps.

Thanks Lee, me too. Had them made years ago to run wets on my group S car.  15x6 all round.  Been gathering dust for ages.

POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

We have lift!  My alignment guy (Dave Falson/East Coast Susp) combined his years of air cooled 911 experience with his charity bash car experience - and voila. He fitted some front shock spacers left over from a London to Sydney build.  We still have proper shock and sway bar function and even a little -ve camber on the rear.  This thing drives so nicely down the road. And was so much fun bombing over a few speed humps last night on the way home... Next challenge is finding a good fabricator for the bar work.  Any recommendations for someone Sydney based gladly received.

POST 22Original post

Got a test circuit mapped out mate?! Methinks its time to start lobbying for a couple of dirt stages for Classic Adelaide ;-)

What about the five nasty speed humps, two curbs and three potholes between home and my local piccolo latte dispenser...

POST 24 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bars nearly done.  Next is skid plate and roll hoop.

POST 26Original post

After catching up with Mike at Luftgekhult and having a good look over his Leigh Keen built rally coupe, it looked like so much fun and they had a ball driving it over. Are you going to put on some extra lights for that real rally look?

Trying Cam - getting work done in this town is a PITA. Yep, quad light pod is here and awaiting paint/fitting as are the lamps.  Plus I have a rad (ebay-find) vintage spottie for the rear end. Couple of other oddball details too - spare wheel carrier, vintage ski rack (which I'm hoping can lug a kid's scooter or skateboard).  All will be revealed.

POST 29Original post

@OBRUT I'm loving this build - can't wait to see the finished product!

POST 30Original post

Can we get a picture of it in full? Loving this build, I must see what it looks like with the top down!

POST 31 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Next step is fitting the roll hoop and spare wheel carrier - will post a pic when that is done. At present, it looks like a bone stock 80's cab that some idiot fitted the wrong wheels and springs too...

POST 34 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Getting closer.  Last thing to do is paint/install the light pod and tidy up the paint/holes on the rear lid.

Well done mate, chic late 70's! Not being facetious here, are you actually going to rally it? Or mostly for unique looks and feel amongst the usually modded old air cooleds?

I reckon get it on some unsealed back roads for a laugh! dirt track is also not a bad idea- most are actually smooth and a standard 911 would do it (I have), but the scrambler would be a hoot

A few mates and I have been getting some miles on this car - it is so enjoyable to drive.  Hard to explain but it is just fun the way it cruises down the road. Gets odd looks from other drivers though - especially dudes in 4wd’s.
