I have found 993 inner door panels and carpet set for sale, and am considering putting them in my 964. Would these fit?

I am hoping that the inner door panels would be a direct swap... They look much nicer than my ratty 964 panels.

Thanks in advance.

RG.

 

the door panels are; and it's a common enough swap. Not sure on the carpets.

 

Is the carpet set new? If so, the carpet is not an exact fit anyway. You have to do a fair bit of fitting and trimming to get the carpet right.

 

The doors and carpet are in a wrecked 993 right now, so I'd have to take it out and install into mine.

I am thinking about the entire interior now actually. Back seats, inner rear 1/4 panels. Center console, handbrake etc etc. (Basically everything except dash and front seats.)

One thing I've noticed is the 993 door panels don't have the rotary **** for the power locks. Has anyone out there tried this?

I don't mind cutting the carpet and fiddling with it if it will look good when done...

 

IMO the carpet will not be salvegable. The carpet is glued down extremely well! Mine came out in pieces. Here is a pic. Also the rear quarter panels are slightly different from the 964 and won't fit without modification. What color is the interior? I have a tan set of 964 interior corner panels I will sell cheap!

 

Oh my...that is a lot of glue!

I have a grey pair of interior panels that I would sell somewhere I think..just in case!

 

Yikes. OK. Thanks for the pic. Will definitely not do the carpets!

Thanks for the info.

Hi Rob, Is the wrecked 993 a local Vancouver car?, I may need a couple of small parts.

Hey Steen,

Yeah, it was on Craigslist. The listing is no longer there, so I'll PM the sellers email address to you.

While the door panels do fit, they are not a straight bolt on. Though it is very close. I did this last year and found a couple of things that you may want to keep in mind. The door pull mount bolts at the bottom, near the release lever needed to be longer which for me at the time required a trip to the hardware store. The upper holes do not line up with anything at all since the door pull is at a different angle than the original. It was not much of a problem. I fabricated a stel strap that I bolted into the door inner skin and used a nut clip on it to give the upper bolts somewhere to attach to. As for the rotory lock **** wheel, wile it is removed the stud did make contact with the inner surface of the door card. To keep it from abrading through I took a piece of metal and double back taped it to the door card to give the stud something to rub against. You could also take a Dremel and trim it down but I chose not to take that approach. Everything else lines right up and it is a terrific improvement both in appearance and ergonomics. The first one took about 3 hours to complete but by the time I got to the second one I had it all done in about 90 min. Good Luck!

 

Just out of interest, can you not source 964 parts? Personally I would hate having a hybrid frankenporsche

 

It's clear that you just do not get it. Nothing wrong at all with a bone stock car but also nothing wrong with making tasteful changes to personalize ones car to their own liking.

 

No I don't in this particular case I agree but I am sorry to have caused the offense so clearly taken.

I also agree that there nothing wrong with making 'tasteful' changes or modifying ones car however one wants (regardless of taste.)

My opinion is that swapping interiors between models however is in fact not so tasteful and would devalue the car. Personally a little wear and patina is preferable than this.

Admittedly I'd still be the first to want to see pictures of this however and would thoroughly enjoy the thread.

Best to you 1990 (and please share any pics of your car and its modifications)

Thanks for the info guys. I've decided to pass, as the seller wanted too much money, and it's not possible to retro fit certain pieces like the inner rear quarter panels etc.

Cheers,

RG.

 

Can you show us a picture of that steel piece?
Thanks!
