Re: My new ride....
Btw Andy, resale not important, but I do want everything to be reversible. I suspect there's a fair amount that could be done and still be fully reversible. I do still have a hankering for a pascha interior though. I think that's what Bootsy meant when he said I should make it a bit less butch. Right Bootsy?
I think maybe a gentleman's racer / GT. Although I possess neither the talent nor the breeding to make claims for either.
Maybe I should drive it first....but then....230hp, lightened, lightweight bumpers, some funky wheels and a psycadelic interior would be pretty good fun...

Re: My new ride....
Very nice Richard. Plenty of VFM to be still had in the G series, and for me they are the archetypal 911. Have fun, like you say, loads of mods can be reversed, as long as you arent flaring, stripping and cageing her. Oo-er, etc.

Re: My new ride....
I was implying that given your outward appearance and persona that the car in it's original guise is at a juxtaposition with it's new owner - if you 'fem' it up a bit then maybe you'll feel more at home when you're driving around in your underpants feeling the coldness of the leather.murph2309 wrote:I do still have a hankering for a pascha interior though.

For what it's worth I wouldn't change a thing - I'd just drive it and enjoy it - that interior is lovely and deserves to be kept as is.
Maybe we can butch you up a bit instead of 'femming' the car?

That look like Bootsy's car and he is even painted on the side!
The force is strong in this one ......
