My guy said he wonders why Porsche even bothers to weld them or put bolts in there the way they are glued in....

I am curious.......

why did you opt for replacing the quarters?
were they damaged or did you just want the bigger flares for bigger tires/wheels?

I am thinking about bigger fenders as well, but don't want to get into removing the OEM quarters, more along the lines of adding Louie Ott's Nizzazzzz fenders to my Euro?

Can you post some more detailed pics of what's under the skin? Always interesting.

I just like the looks of the GTS rear quarters, and it is a lot cheaper than buying a GTS.

My better half says I cant leave good enough alone.

No rub strips, GTS mirrors, and no marker lights.

We have done almost all of the mechanicals, building the motor now for a blower.

Then the biggie, the inside of the car .

Yes, I sure can, let me get some more pictures.
Part of this is your fault. (the marker delete)

For those of you that don't know, after seeing 928andRC51 and Sterlings cars I just fell for the look these.
It had to be painted anyway, so I decided to just get it the way I wanted it.

I think you are doing the right thing making the car the way you want it

I will ask him, but if you expect your car back in a few months, he may not be the guy for you.
