renovation underway---> re-birth of a damaged shark
I posted this in another thread--- and thought I'd "share" the progress my wife and I are having with our shark.
Well---> I'm having fun at least **LOL**.

nope.....
I bought that one in the Silicon Valley (where we live)--- got it for cheap too. YES-- it WAS yellow. Currently a deep cherry red.
She was VERY neglected---- and I am putting about 5k in her total.
Work thus far-- and planned over the next two months:
** new deep cherry paint job (currently black-- but will be re-painted to this color-- wife changed her mind!!!)
** new "phone-dial" wheels (thx Devec)
** custom front shield (silver plating in place of the gold)
** custom wheel caps using the ABOVE silver plated shields (thx Ralph Boothe)
** removal of front marking lights (fiberglassed over)
** removal of top antenae/holes and front lic. plate holes
** converting interior to MOSTLY black (all upholstery-- dash-- console box)-- currently is all brown leather.
** many stainless and aluminum fixtures (basically as many as I can find i.e. jag engineering, 928gt.com etc...)
** new 928 mats- cargo net- luggage cover
** racing (VTR I believe) exhaust
** shortened shift (5speed)
** new front spoiler
** custom clears for front and back (local plastics shop-- read: OUCH for these)
** PORSCHE back sticker redone in 304 electropolished stainless steel (yes-- it sounds Guido, but looks classy as anything)
** POSSIBLE acquisition of a Jacquemond roof spoiler
and many misc parts/trim that needed to be replaced....
I will post some pics when completed!!!!
I hope the modifications/updating of my shark DOES NOT offend the purists here.... but I bet she'll be pretty.
p.s.---- her name is Jay-Lo---> for her big backside **LOL**

Zilla,
If you havn't done so, you should talk to Dozman about his black interior shark he's parting out. Lots of interoir goodies available. You'll see his thread on parting ou a shark. It's a 85.

Zilla, looks like a huge project! Take lots of pictures (and consider yourself lucky that your wife likes the car) What are you going to do with the front spoiler? I need a used one someday down the road.
