Nice looking car and i do like the wheels. Incredible mileage though. 6800 miles? It really is amazing how a car like this can be barely driven for 20 years! Thats about 340 miles per annum!
Cheers Rick

Yeah, was that meant to say 68,000 miles?

Car looks great; since you're not afraid to modify your car, I'd recommend having the centre console painted in body colour, and have red seat belts fitted. Brighten up the interior.

Are you planning to track the car? If so what's the track day scene like in Sweden? Just thinking about future road trip ideas.... :wink:


Ooh sorry, of course its 68,000 miles!

The trackdays for Porsches are quite big in Sweden. I believe that PCS, Porsche Club Sweden is the 4th largest? US, UK and Germany are bigger.

I will definately try some trackdays this year, but its nothing that I have done before.

As for the interior, I really like Marky911's interior! Since my car being silver, maybe black interior with grey alcantara parts?

Stunning! Great job. 8)

I've followed a very similar path with my car, with the seats, red calipers, suspension, etc.
It's amazing how different the same car can feel from beginning to end.

I look forward to more updates. :thumb:

Thank you! I really like your thread and it inspired me to do this writeup!

Lovely looking car with some great mods.
Great choice for the wheels too.
Any details on the replica buckets?

Thank you!

I bought the seats as "new used"... He bought them for a Audi S2 like 5 years ago but never had them mounted. I guess its the typical ebay replicas. Looks and feels great though.

Hi All,

Small uppdate... I've put one layer of TAC System coating on the wheels and assembled them. A second layer will be done next weekend after the tires are mounted!

I also got new centercaps. There is a missmatch in color between these and the wheels... What do you guys think, should I have them resprayd or should I just live with it? I dont think its bothering me.





 
Just caught up with this thread. Have to say your car looks stunning, the garage is pretty good too!

I wouldn't bother with the centre caps they look fine. :thumb:
