This is an interesting concept,as I have been toying with the idea of converting my six into a steel roof car.I like the idea of an enclosed /6,ala 916, and would love to see how the factory built them.

Do any of the faithful out there have pictures or specs on the factory process?

I originally bought this car in 1997 or 1998? As a stock FI 2.0. and over the next few years:

Painted it.
5 Lugged it.
2.2 MFI sixed it.
Sold it to Micheal M. to save it from a divorce.
Bought it back from Micheal M. a year later
Flared it (Painted again).
Gernaded the engine.
Jeff bought it, put 4cyl back in, sold it.
Mike R. converted back to a 2.5 six
I bought it back from Mike
Gave engine back to Jeff with Solex cams, JE P/C's and other engine upgrades made.
Added flag mirrors and 87' 911 front "stuff" tossed the old 911T "stuff"
Steel roof with sunroof added
Sold to T.C.
T.C. sold to Utah guy?
Utah guy sold to Costas in NV
T.C. bought it back!


Man, this car has been passed around more than a drunk sorority girl at a frat party....

The ST is kicking my Ass right now as the Fucher won't start - the Starter will not engage.

Battery is Fine, The Fuel Pump is working, I cleaned all the connectors going to the Starter, there is a Hot Start Relay that I disconnected, etc. I guess I have to change out the Starter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I am going to put a different Engine, Carbs, Tranny in, a few weeks so I may just let her sit

Good looking seat TC. Will they need adaptor brackets to mount to the stock rails?

What is a good source for those? I may be looking for 17's in a few months and have no idea which flavor to get.

17's, nice! No more fighting to find good tires for 15 or 16 inch rims.

Since I plan on keeping this car long-term, eventually I will put Steel Flares on it. Right now the paint is burned off the roof ( from when Dan did the Steel-Top), but is OK on the rest of the car. So I will be painting the Top & Sail Panels a Satin Black

Thats going to be interesting, where will the Satin 'stop' on the front portion of the top, or will it go all the way down the windshield pillar
