My first Porsche
#47
A little update. I bought a set of 18 in. replica cup II's off ebay and they arrived last week. Yesterday, they were dropped off to get blasted down to metal, fixed, and refinished. I decided to go out of the norm and not get them done in silver. I'm going with a brushed gold finish on the face with a glossy gold lip or silver lip. But I'm leaning towards a gold lip. We'll see how I feel when the time comes.
Today, I dropped off the car at the body shop to have all the black painted blue. The previous owner had the car painted in a retro style look with the painted black and blue hood, the "porsche" decals on the side, and the ducktail. I love the look but thought I'd "update" my car. I also plan on putting the original decklid on as well.
Near future plans. Getting a set of KW V3s and lowering it a bit more. I've read that the top mounts should also be changed out as well when doing this mod. Can anyone shed some light as to why this is done? Thanks for any info.

Anxiously awaiting their return from paint. The rear decklid may look pretty good once all-blue. Kinda fond of the duck.

I'll post them as soon as I get them. I hope they turn out as good as I think they will. Fingers crossed.
Thanks Paul. Previous owner took exceptional care of the car. I can't be more pleased. I'm loving it more and more everyday.
I like the duck as well Mark. But I'm going for the updated look rather than backdating it. Either way, these cars dress up nice!
Be patient pf. It took me about 9 months to find this one. Don't worry, you'll find the right car.
I don't know what it is made of. Previous owner bought it and included it when I bought the car. I've contacted him to find out manufacturer. Both duck and rims are currently on sale in the parts marketplace. Contact me through PM if you are interested. Thanks.
Thank you! As this is my daily driver, I look forward to driving her everyday. Still puts a smile on my face. Everywhere I go, I always get the thumbs up or nice car comment. It truly is a classic.
