Default Pics of the 1981

I don't think I posted pics of my 5-speed, so here they are.

It looks great! What size are the rear tires, as I'll like to go to 10" wide rims on the rear of my 85s> Ed M

Very nice. How does the interior look? Wheels look great - what kind are they, by the way?

And the wheels are? I was going to guess turbo twists but they look a bit different. Any pics of the inside?

Ah ha--and the prize goes to BrendanC! 2003 996 TT wheels. Getting those wheels to fit was a real trick too. I don't have any interior pics as of now. I will try and post some soon.

Nice! I like the no spoiler look.

I actually perchased a 3 piece spoiler and decided against it when I realized I would have to drill the hatch. I'm not running a chin spoiler either.

Thanks Brendan. Your avatar looks very familiar to where I was a few months back:



Here's a shot after almost complete - check the cam towers:

How about sending the whole shark....

The 996 TT's look really sharp. Any spacers required?

LOL--No spacers, just some serious fender rolling! My arms hurt for a week.

Scott - the cam plugs are covered by?

I put the spider on last weekend. I should take some more pics and put them on the avatar.

I'll have no dizzy, no more CIS, and a later style oil filler neck.

Alternator different?

Looks great! The Porsche script "reverse image" is just too easy to pass up - I did it too - months ago, and have coated them after the black paint was sanded off the letters and the letters polished as much as I had patience for.

Powdercoating simply wasn't what I wanted to pay for...

Sorry for stealing the thread for a second.
