(UPDATED with comments below)
From the photos, this is what I see that is not correct. Anything I'm missing? Not correct / things to fix: - outside mirror - speaker boxes - after market front air dam - 80s radio - white valve covers - rust (?) spots on carpet - painted (?) headlight motors - 4-cyl center console - color change back to Irish Green - wheel center caps need to be anodized or something - incorrect jack - black plastic threshold plates and carpet cleat should be aluminum Not right but no reason to "correct" (IMO): - Euro lenses - Euro driving lights vs USA fog lights - 15x6 Fuchs (was originally steel) May or may not be correct: - horn button is not correct - center seat fabric should be smooth (Center cushion could be the Colgan aftermarket item, period correct) questions / not sure: - antenna may not be right... ? - repro rear trunk carpet (missing grommet). or might be orig. -Steve Attached image(s) |

Yep, it's sitting too low, check to see which way the washers for the mount are installed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I think a Porsche engine rebuild is about the same no matter the power. Stock/low HP versions usually use factory bits instead of aftermarket, so that may be the $$. Good thing mine is not going to be stock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But color me jealous of the heat exchangers. Did I miss something, I thought this car was white... |
