avants2turbo

finally started my little project

started out with this


after 3 years of running it, the body was deemed to be to rotten to be an economical repair, so i looked for a donor shell

this came up





this sat in my workshop for a couple of years as paid work took over

finally made a start about 2 months back stripping the turbo and prepping the 968 shell





intercooler location pretty much 968 Turbo S Location



new fuel lines







body primed



new wheels and tyres







new steering wheel and horn push



car all painted





parked up ready for assembly (no garage now)





massive difference in the sunlight!









gave the rear lights a good clean and polish with 3M extra fine plus, then ultrafina





new bumper grill fitted



bonnet badge fitted (new one required as this is a little tarnished)

and bonnet aero catches fitted



rear lights fitted



i havent fitted any of the bumper rubbers as yet as they are going to be off a few more times yet

the colour choice will make more sence when you see the interior from the 88' turbo

the lighting in the photo doesn't do it any favors, its actually much darker in the flesh, its Burgundy

Jay Wellwood

That interior looks cool.

BTW - you DO know the steering wheel is on the wrong side, don't you?

avants2turbo

hehe i wondered how long it would be before someone pointed that out.....

Sport seats in that pattern? I have never seen that before

Will Feather

I would die for some full cloth sport seats!

Why? There not so popular this side of the pond, especially in 80s stock market suit material
