I have been working on this car for the past 5 years to bring her to her current state. She started life as a 1.7 with the appearance group and steelies. The one PO upgraded her to a 2.0 with Webbers and fake 4 lug Fuches. Being rather lousey at shifting by feel, I had a side shift installed. She looked kinda fast, but still more resembled a sheep in wolf's clothing, so decided to take a 1 liter jump + a couple of cylinders to give her a bit more umpf. That started an avalanche of changes from which I am still trying to recover.

She has the full Elephant polybronze setup, and was converted from 4 to 5 lug with early 911 light weight calipers. I went with 6's and 7's. The 7's of course necessitated the rear fenders being pulled - but I like the narrow kind of understated look, not to say there aren't plenty of gorgeous flared cars on this site. To help a bit with air intake and cooling I added a GT style engine cover which had been through a fire. It also got Camp 914 front and rear lenses and drivers. Also got from them the LeMans seat which sure beats the hell out of the original. The 3 liter was freshly rebuilt with some mild internal mods - better oiling, hotter cam and is estimated to put out about 230 hp at the crank. It has Webbers on PMO risers and a sport exhaust. Loud pipes save lives! Will have to put her on the dyno.
Also had a front cooler added which gets its air supply from the fog light grills - never thought that would work, but it does. The problem rather than overheating is getting her up to temp.

Won't bore you with the other details. On to the pics

Thanks to all that answered my 100 questions to make it possible.

Forgot to add that I blacked out the PORSCHE script between the tail lights just cause I like black against silver and don't like advertising more than I am already.

Combo came from New Vintage USA http://www.newvintageusa.com/bigmarkdesigngauges.html

They stand behind their product 100% and are very responsive. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat.

What is wrong with this picture? My 1.7 speedometer goes to 150 and it has to speed of 109 ( downhill!) and your speedometer goes to 120 and yours has a top speed of 150!

Your teener looks awesome!

Twist my arm... It's a Behr with approx 20% less capacity than a GT cooler, but then this isn't a dedicated track car either. It's more of a canyon slayer. The wife calls it the 'Cool car'.
