That's correct! Original gauges reworked to style from 65 - 67!

On not totally sold on the side sil modification, but really do like the slightly deeper rear bumper.
Too many lights up front...
Nice simple interior though.

I agree most of these back dates fail because of the side sills. IMO that is the most critical aspect of the modification and if you don't get it right it defeats the purpose of the backdate.

Steve - You may also want to check with North Hollywood Speedo, they could probably do this as well.

Axl911,
don't know what you get for 1 kidney.
The one in sandbeige would be approx 50% of a Singer.

Cheers Detlef

Hi Anthony,

that's exactly our opinion.
We tried it for No 1 with and without...
we said no way, much too heavy.

Looking Keen!

Len Keen is working on a 964 backdate too. Should be a very nice build. C2 based and he says he had his own molds created...

Also, check out the rally 911 he recently built. Pretty epic interior!

The backdate "trend" is taking all our 964s! It's getting out of control....

New project started at DP
Take a look at our current super-Lightweight-project. This serves as a basis for a Porsche 964 C2 (MJ 1990) In Linen-metallic with g50 manual transmission.
Our objectives are unambiguous:
Colour: Porsche Signal-Yellow
Weight: Max. 960 kg without gas
Chassis: KW-Clubsport + unibal
Rims: Oz Ultra Leggera 3-piece
Engine: 3.8 l with min. 330 HP
... And the rest? Let yourself be surprised!!!

I don't think that DP is a backdate. The album title says WTL (wide Turbo-look) 3.8. That sounds like a 3.8RS look, not a backdate.

DP quoting 960kg! Can that be done with a 964?
