beat the vat
My parts man is off until Tuesday,,
So I will be chasing everything up from Tuesday on.
I do know someone breaking a turbo very soon but I am happy with my car being narrow bodied still.
I have spoke with Boydy and he's been very helpful with good info.
The info on impact bumpers is great and some panels will need changing or modifying but I will try and get intouch with the guy who's done it on there as he's got first hand knowledge.
Jaz built a silver car on a long bonnet so they might help with the odd bit of advice,but with the web and the various forums I go on I should be able to sort this out.
I am okay'ish at typing on here but I have never ever posted any pictures so I need to get someone to show me how to do it,so I can show the turbo off but the little sc has been a very good car over the years.
Gaz,,

make it a widebody speedster 
costs a bit more due to wheel arches. But then you have the
most beautiful car on the planet ( 11 widebody 964 speedsters were created
by Porsche, by rebuilding original 964 speedsters after production at coustomers'
request, I beliee).
What's the deal by the way with the Speedster softtop. Does this work with same holes and mechanism as 'regular' 964 convertible? Or is this a definetly new mechanism?
Does it matter for the conversion if you start of with a Targa or a regular convertible? Or are the adjustments about the same?
My opinion if you have the budget. and don't have to worry about the expenditure. Then I would do it.
(That said, I will build a Widebody 964 Speedster in the future.)

...I have a 3.8 rsr look turbo and its got me into trouble over the years as it was asked to join all the real rs's at silverstone classic a couple of years ago and certain people were very upset it was parked near them.
I suppose they were gutted my car gained more attention than theirs being widebodied and I have more horses.

Sorry mines rubystone red,
I was at the classic in the poor old targa that's getting chopped.
I took photo's of that car also, its got narrow rear arms so he can run 11"rears mine is still running t2 stuff so I am not as deep dish on the rears as him.
