WOW!! Original and unmolested!! So far...

Love the colour!! In Oz it's pretty rare to find something other than the usual silver, red, black or white. Congratulations and enjoy driving it!

Sweet ride. Congrats on joining the madhouse.

You will learn a lot from Rennlist especially if you want to do a lot of the work yourself. I know I have. These guys are great.

From the looks of it here is what you NEED (let the molestation begin):-)

*17" wheels & Tires
*Exhaust upgrade (G-pipe at the minimum)
*Modified suspension (Seems everyone does Bilsteins & H&R's but whatever else floats your boat)
*Fix the slight "crooked grin" up front
*Clear fr Corner markers

Want Items

*Aero Mirrors
*Tinted windows

Oh wait now that I think about it, that looks exactly like my mod list.

Congrats again and enjoy your sweet ride.

It is a beautiful car. If I may be so bold, keep changes to a minimum as the further you go the deeper you get.

Robert,

Those are really sick pictures of mod parts. I think you need to get some immediate help... let me start helping you by taking those parts away from you.

The suspension and steering pieces you have bring back fond memories when I devoted a great deal of my time building and racing 1/8 scale on-road RC cars. They are really not that different than real racing cars.

I just drooled all over looking at those parts.

Those are for a street car?

You'll grow to like it even more, after viewing all our white, red, black, and silver 964's. Seems the Europeans have a greater appreciation for color. With a little work, it'll be a standout in the company of any other Porsche. Congratulations and welcome to Rennlist.

Nice color! I remember my wait from CA to NJ... 27 Long brutal days! Decided when I bought it, in 3 years I would replace it with something else... 3 Years is up this summer, I've looked for 2 solid months, last week turned down a very fair offer. Finally again shopped the Barett-Jackson Palm Beach auction last week, came back empty handed... No idea what would have replaced it... Drove a 996 cab, a new Corvette and a new Mustang... Took it off the market and taking motorcycle classes in 2 weeks, I'll add to the toy box this time.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I just got a UPS package and it is the rear Bilsteins. Hopefully I will see my Porsche in a week or so. Will post an update when it arrives.

I am suprised so many of you like the color(or maybe you're just being nice).

Greg, welcome to Rennlist. Cool color, your car will really standout after a few mods which you seem to already be planning. Enjoy your car, they are great fun!
