Default Pics from this afternoon

Having not had the car for 2 months I took the chance to go out and enjoy it for a bit this afternoon and stopped in the shadow of a nearby power station to snap some pics. I wish it was still as clean now but shortly after I took these the heavens opened and now it's filthy again!

With the standard headlights being so rubbish I should think a glow in dark car could only be a good thing!

Nice car/pics Jim, black is a b!tch to keep clean. Interesting car as well. Did you have the widebody conversion done?

The car had been converted (in fact it was more like butchered) by a previous owner and I have just had the whole lot redone when it went in for a respray.

When you mean whole lot. Did you remove everything and then install factory quarters bumpers and rear quarters, including butt welding the rear fenders? Or just had them fix the botcherey from the last owner to look cleaner.

I didn't replace everything with factory panels no, much as I would have liked to do so my budget was already stretched far beyond what had been expected either by me or the bodyshop concerned.

Wide body 964's are so damn sexy!

I was partial to the athletic compactness of a narrow body, but every time I see a wide body, wild thoughts escape…

I may have to sell my 997 to fund another 964.

Congrats on the repaint - your car is beautiful.

Wow, the respray looks spot on

Great backdrop for a photoshoot too.
