This car was (at one time) my Dads. At that time, it was a 75' with a 1.8 in it. He was having tough times and sold the car (without the engine) to his friend. 12 years later, the engine tin and fan shroud are in my car, my Dad has a Six, and this car has a 3.6 from a 993 in it, and as of today, it is now his again.....

A few from when we first picked it up..... more pics to come tomorrow, I'll be detailing it....

Thanks Gint! It has some work in store for it right off the bat... back-dated bumpers, Upgraded brakes, speakers, dash pad, battery.

And it looks sweet. Black cars look good with big bumpers.

....YOU are with out question the type of Son, and Man, your father can be proud of....If there were more like you , the world would be a much better place.

Wow! Beautiful car! What is that stuff in the trunk? Radiator? Supplementary fuel tanks?

Bob

Looks to be very well done. Nice car. Nice story.

Oil tank and oil cooler, has a small, small leak, nothing a little attention cant fix.




Thanks Eric, it's pretty well done, I'm looking forward to doing the detail work.

Nice car! I actually like the BBB on a black car.

Looks good! Let's see some engine shots too!

Are they 205 width tires on the back? I drove my 3.6 non-flared for about two years with 205s and it was... interesting.

That car is the dogs bollocks !!!

Um..... is that good? Or bad?


Pictures coming. Just spent about 4 hours detailing it today....

Steve, all the fenders are flared very slightly, I don't know if they are 205's on the back though.

Engine.... Correction, 964 transplant....





Exhaust....





Exhaust/Tranny/Wevo

Gauges.....



Suspension....






Oil system...

Misc....

Like I said, spent the day cleaning it. Also took off that central support for the roll bar, HUGE blindspot with that on, as well as all the hotlap stuff. Too much attention.


Few pictures of the car, now clean!

Awesome, looks good!

It must be a 1995 engine, since it has the late intake manifold (plastic) but OBD-I electronics (round 19-pin plug, versus later 16-pin plug). Right? Or I suppose it could be a later euro-engine...

It also looks like the gasket under the hood crest is either missing or shrunk. They are really inexpensive to replace to get it to fit right (flush)...

Father here ......just browsing on my son's passion and found the comment .... I am very proud and makes "my world" a better place ! Thank you for the comment(s).

The dogs bollocks is about as cool as you can get.

Car looks great - congrats to your dad!

My 914 needs detailing also, I will hold any day open for you to come and do it.

OH yes mine is black also. BTW Black is the only color Henry Ford and

God said a car should Be!!!! Dave

Sleepers are cool.....but traction is the cat's ass.

Nice car I also think the bbbs look pretty good. One tap in the front or rear and you'all will like them even more. Also from the pictures the rollbar looks to be oval. I didn't realize how much additional mods were required for a 6 conversion. I guess thats mostly from the oil tank in the front instead of in the fender. Does the battery also not fit in the old spot? It looks like you lose about as much trunk space as a waterpumper. But you do have the real porsche sound, thats the best part.

Hope it's an LSD or TBD differential. Either makes skinny tires work way better with big horsepower. That said...

Drivers new to them need to get some wet-parking lot time to learn when they break away. Wet pavement can make for high-drama until there be throttle discipline.

Filling out the "dream" garage...

Kinda reminds me of that poster I remember from Highschool. It had a garage with a Porsche, Ferrari, Lotus, etc and said something to the extent of "Motivation for hard work".

Justification for higher education ?

I'm going to have to just post this emoticon in reference to ALL of the previous compliments concerning you and the car.

Sweet

The next time I am in Cali I hope I am in your area
