Is it possible to convert a 1989 911 carrera into a speedster look?
 
My first Porsche is a 2008 Careers 4s and I still have it. I know nothing about any Porsche prior to that. I came across a 1989 911 carrera convertible that was too cheap NOT to buy. Has 203,000 miles on it but I got for the price of engine overhaul. I feel like playing around with it. Is it out of the question to find someone to make it look like a speedster? I need new interior and paint job no matter what and was looking to put a ducktail on it. I want to be different. In a too big of a way maybe. Who can I call about this? I'm willing to ship anywhere for the correct project. My first post so I hope I am not out of line here!

Ha- "too cheap not to buy", famous last words.

It can be done. Most are Turbo Look bodied. So, yes, but it's gonna cost you. Welcome to the club.

From what Ive read, buying a windshield for your project may cost you more than the car did.

There was a $4800 ask '89 windshield posted on Craigslist recently: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pts/3736175772.html Just the start of what's needed.

But with what it would reasonably and competently require to convert a car these days is probably 80+% of what it would cost to just go buy a mid-mile Speedster........... (Or you just buy similar from some crack smoker who posted an M491 Targa with 200K+ miles for $90K. Ad seems to be taken down now.)
