Looks great! White really does suit the 964 and the red Cups are hot. With all those great twisty roads on your side of the sea, those red shoes won't stop dancing

I'll be coming your way for track days next year. My goal is to hit most of the European continental tracks as well.

Very nice setup. You are acquiring quite the stable of p-cars.

I'm curious. No hydraulic tail, crank windows, non-airbag steering wheel RSA?

For decklid emblems contact don_traver@yahoo.com

He does a great job in black or silver

A perfect color combo! That is how I want mine to be, white, red cups, red script. Sweet.

Thanks - you are correct in that someone went through a lot of trouble to convert the car to a Euro RS spec. All parts are original Porsche parts. The hand cranks even have a 959 part number.

I've been in touch with Don on the "America" script. Just didn't feel right badging it as a "Carrera RS".

Neat car. I'm thinking of doing sort of the same thing, but using a 996 GT3 engine....
