Took this car apart and dropped off at paint shop last year( June 2005). The shop worked on it and got it back home Nov 2005. It has taken me 7 months to get all the right parts etc to get it back together. I had a parts car I was stealing from and bought alot of new hardware and rubber. But now I can drive, drive, and then drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif)

I had two tops painted for the car. One high gloss and the other original and plugged the 74 bumper tits with plastic plugs painted to match. I could not find a complete set of bumper tits in good condition without breaking the bank so I went with the plugs. I think I prefer this look anyways.

Still need to Install front plates, wipers and the PORSCHE decal. But in the meantime I am (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) .

Wow! Looks great! I love bumblebees! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I can't remember if the side decal was stock or not. Did you plan on putting one on? Sure looks clean the way it is.

Yes, the side decals are stock for the car and yes, I plan on putting the on. The P-O-R-S-C-H-E was stock for the US market and stripes for rest of world markets. Jeff Bowlsby' s site has all the answers. Jeff's site
