Hi, I was actually querying the black part you have here in the lower right of the picture that ducts air through the heat exchangers. Is that a CF part?

Hi JV, Subscribed. I saw this on the Autohaus facebook page recently, as a new owner of an almost identical 964 C4 and in sydney, very interested to see how your build goes! The Autohaus project cars we've seen are first rate. They've done great work on our car too so far.

Awesome build! Can't wait to see it when it's done. Lots of pieces to the puzzle but all worth it in the end. Subscribed!

Rendering of the finished project. Still to decide on whether the decals will be green or black.

Wow! I love these types of builds. Not just because of all the cool, mechanical bits... because they show also us the amazing passion out there in the Porsche community. Customer and shop side alike.
Look at this build! Amazing quality and taste. Very, very good.

Inspiration from Group 4 all the way to the 918 Spyder... Got to love all the bits tied to this awesome brand.

The concept rendering takes this thread over the top too! Ducktail, ducktail!

Are you sure you don't want to keep it Slate Grey??

I've considered it as it's a great colour and in great condition but after careful consideration we've decided to go grey-black, in the interests of doing something a little different. Grey-black is similar to the old school non-metallic slate grey albeit a shade darker.

Having a mate do the paint and panel work at cost price is a bonus!

Nick,

Call the airline on this first. Anything with compressed gas may not be accepted. IATA rules. If the airline goes by the book, it may not be allowed on passenger airlines.

I know from personal experience and have 15 years experience in the shipping and logistics industry.

My Bilstein B6 shocks are somewhere in car part heaven and didn't even roll a single foot.

Oh and before I forget: this looks like a nice machine. Absolutely LOVE the color combo.
