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.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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 major
Thanks to Coastr we were able to find a good base.
Before: Taken by Coastr
Now:
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.
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?
We 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.
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
Its a SC with a 3.2 transplant.
The iroc bumper plus the rs front is a great look.
PFA member Andrewbu has this set up on his 911sc and it looks great in person.
HAHAHA...
Yeah i wanted to do a RWB inspired project but dad isn't a fan.
As for the RS wing that's on the car its a cheap bolt on, unlike the original ones that where part of the deck lid.
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:
We have been considering the iroc rear bumper. Not too keen for the rs front in the bright colours.
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.
Thanks Raven, were looking forward to it to. Just need to chose one of these 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.

Great project.
Looking forward to your progress.
love yellow, had two.
Impossible to match, and non metal parts appear a different shade in some lights. Servo lights especially.
The base needs to be a solid dark colour, and loading of the yellow sooooo even. I'd use someone that has experience with yellow.
Viper green or blue 2c
Ohhhh... i thought your were talking about the RS bumper.
That looks GREAT
Thanks! Thats exactly what John said about the colour yellow, thats why we were looking at our options.
Thanks! ill be sure to post any development as soon as it starts.
Yeah. Ditch the 964 look. Yellowbird front and rear. Olive green. Black wheels with gloss lips & matte centres. Whale tail.
http://www.gettydesign.com/911_bumpers.php
OR, whatever this acidic green is, with glod centres & polished lips...
Thanks Tit, they are both great colours love the acidic green. We dont really like the yellow bird front bumper.
Thanks Eoghanroe, our plans before the thread were to keep the 964 look, new interior, add the duck tail, side skirts and new paint.
But now thanks to everyone were thinking maybe a new front bumper.
Thanks ANF, we thought of going with speed yellow but then thought of all the other colour options we had and narrowed it down.
There are so many different bumpers to go for. we might just keep the 964 bumpers till we get sick of them lol
The RS 4 above is owned by a member of this forum and was only finished recently ,,,awesome build by Hamiltons AutoHaus.....

Update:
While waiting for the duck tail to arrive we've grown tired of the 964 look on our 911.
Our new plan for the body is to get a IROC rear bumper, remove the side skirts, SC/RS style front bumper (recommended by clutch-monkey) and some deep dished 16" fuchs.
We might go with the colour
riviera blue.
What the front bumper will look like:
What the rear end will look like: (we are also going to try and have the same exhaust set up as the picture below)
as I kicked off this project
I vote for tweety bird as well!
Plus Son and Dad need separate PFA accounts...otherwise we don't know who is saying what!
awesome dad, by the way. Good guidance towards tasteful ideas :)
Yes I like this set up a lot, although prefer the RS front ( clutchmonky suggested ) , I have been planning to do that to my Carrera Targa and brace it with a half cage like the Emory Targa. Then set up the motor with EFI and ITB's . The
ultimate Targa !
HAHAHA my dad and i both love yellow cars but since the car is going to get a full respray we thought of all the other colours that were mentioned before.
Just so its clear everything this account posts is from me Tarkan (the son!)
Anything that i post has already been discussed and agreed on with my father.
Yes he is a awesome dad!
Thanks Spannerhead.
Cant wait to see your progress with the "Ultimate Targa!" sounds like cool project.
I've always been a fan of this colour:
or maybe a 964 colour 'Raspberry' (83E)?
it's a different colour to the colours on RS's (sort of like the colour on my car that's different in different lights)
Coastr only got 2 PFA'ers cars in the background but g
ood to see that it went to a good home! there was a fair bit of interest in that car
Thank you for the different colour options.
Ive already mentioned the mint and raspberry colours to my dad back when we first started thinking of colours but he didnt really like them
.
The blue we might go for is on the 993.
I really do want to... but as soon as i do everyone on the forum will keep adding different colours, bumpers, interior, ect..
We have made our minds up and ill post the progress shots next week.
Im not sure about the colour of Porsche's primer.
When they stripped some of the paint on the fenders they showed me under the yellow paint there was a maroon colour and under that the original colour
champagne
.
No they dont and we aren't complaining.
What do you think of the Euromeister wheels? I'm thinking of getting a pair of 16x8 for my SC. Are they a good accurate copy of the original? Where did you buy them from? Thanks.
they are better finished than the rota versions imo. neither are light, but your next option is spending $$ on braids so for street use it's not bad value at all
Ill get more pictures of the car tomorrow.
Thanks!
The seats are original electric 964 seats but cut and modified to look retro.
They are new black rings but we are waiting for our polished ones to arrive to match the horn grill.
Because we have the horn grills polished and the center fuel filler is silver we want the rings to match.
The center fuel filler:
And the dash all finished: (Much better than the ratty grey interior)
