My jalopy (project)

Hello all,
I thought I might share a tid bit on my resto/conversion project. To start off, this is my first Porsche which I perchased on 9/9/11 (kinda nice ring to it, IMO). It's a '91 C2 Tip, met. slate grey, RoW spec, non-sunroof. I got the car for a song with a set of Cup 1's as a bonus. I debated the Tip for a while but after trying a few manuals with my bad left ankle the choice became a no-brainer. The overall plan is to do the lightweight thing with some inspiration taken from the factory Tip Cup. I'm currently collecting parts, sorting the subcomponents and making it a more streetable car for now...
What will be installed within the next couple weeks:
KW V3
Rennline Camber Plates and Mounts
Walrod Bushings
Recaro Pole Positions + Sliders
Cup 1's (now black) with Hankook V12's (Street wheels)
G-Pipe
In the works:
'Custom' Tiptronic TCU
Here's a quick phone pic. I'll get some better shots when the suspension bits go in.
Thanks

Cool, I have the red version of your car that I am currently working on. What are your plans for a custom Tip TCU?

I'll hopefully get the car back within the next week or so with the first round of goodies installed.

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions regarding my dash pictured below where a PO mounted some bracket. It's one of those things - makes the interior feel trashy, however expensive to fix while cosmetics are somewhat low in priority. The dash is otherwise in fine shape. Do you think a vinyl 'repair' guy can fill the holes, smooth out the bumps, and respray the finish? Alternatively, is it feasible for a novice to take a stab at recovering? Worst case sending the stripped core to a pro for recovering. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Another quick snap with the first phase of 'upgrades' minus the seats... (I'll get some better shots when I get cooler lighting, hmm)

nice 1 Azander, all the best.
im subscribed and its to see other tiptronics being modified...
im very interested in doing what you did with the tip's tcu but lack the skill and knowledge..
there's a company in England that advertised(on total 911) a sportier clutch pack, upgraded solenoids which supposedly will b able to take 750Nm.. they werent very cooperative/friendly when i emailed them they kept asking if i track the car, and when they found out out that my use is "fast street" they said that the standard box will take unto 300-330bhp, but didnt support that with any literature or evidence...
