I agree I figured i would ask. I have 3 turbo 3.6 badges trying to figure what to do with them.
The track project is finally coming along has the beginnings of a widebody look. Decided to go all metal parts. The fiberglass wasn't cutting it gaps were not so great and it cost about the same to do factory flairs than glass after all the work needed to make the glass look right.
So this will technically be a 964 turbo but I am thinking no badging like my 74 rs clone I had. That was one of the best Porsche's I had owned and driven. 2390 pounds with a Max Moritz built 3.2 liter 270 hp all aluminum panels with 73 RS otherwise no brakes. This should be a fun ride I am de-tuning the engine to 400 HP at low boost .3-.35 bar and roughly 2600 pounds so it should be enough to scare me for a while until I get used to it and turn up the boost. A lot more linear than the 3.6 I hate to say it but at least on the track it will probably be more fun.
Sunroof filled, doors gutted, panels in place, need to take it down to bare metal and adjust the 930 fenders to accommodate the factory rockers lots of body work and then ready for paint. Funny how I purchased a black car and all the parts I purchased for the build are painted black but she will be maritime blue with a 3.8 bi-wing tail and center dual exhaust when i am done. Accents will be black. Considering blacking out the headlight rings, brake ducts and painting lower side of rockers black like the 3.6.
I will post a thread soon just too busy gathering and selling parts and dealing with all the hurtles it is almost more work than building a house.
Originally this car left Stuttgart with Strawberry Red metallic.
The current owner who is my friend, had a new bare metal respray to Mexico Blue. The car has full leather interior and the interior colour is a redish pink similar to Strawberry Red.
Currently at the dealership for some maintenance and detailing.
As I have no AC or heater, the bandwidth to use it is very narrow but I'm working on solving those "little issues" :-)
Reminds me of my big block Corvette I used to own.
Could only really use it in spring and fall. Got lots of heat off that engine.
My SC didn't have air either so no driving on the freeway.

My 71E and my 74 RS clone had air conditioning. You rolled the windows down and drove faster.

For some reason, Porsches have horrible buffeting noise at expressway speeds with the windows down. I've got enough hearing damage due to industrial noise so functional a/c (the old 930's have a/c but you couldn't really call it functional) was a priority when I was plotting my next buy from my SC. The Corvette was better since the tops and rear window came out; it was almost like a convertible.
Same car, different wheels. First with RH P-rad 9+10x18, second with 7,5+9x17 Cups ready for Track Day painted in angry orange!
And an RS 3,8 wing mounted for same purpose.
The car is otherwise stock except for front spoiler & inlets and the less obvious PSS10's underneath. When I bought it it had OZ Ultraleggera 19" in matte black, actually not a bad look but a bit to modern for my taste.
