Default Replacing OLD YELLER

Well Old Yeller has a new dog house in SC. I am flying to Baltimore on Wednesday to pick up my new ride a 1995 Triple black cab 59K on it. Needs some TLC, but I like doing that. And yes the mods will begin on Thursday. Here are the plans for the car

993 Sport seats - Thanks Mike J. (Rennlist Member)
TT front bumper (euro)
Clear marking lamps
S airducts
TT rear wing (already have)
Side skirts
PSS9's or Eibachs
New stereo
Full major service
Carbon Fiber interior pieces
New Wheels (exactly like Old Yeller had)
Painting Calipers (Thinking Yellow right now)
Rear seat delete package (if I can find one I NEED IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE ONE IS IN BLACK)

Most importantly, have you picked out a name.

I'm also curious. You are increasing the value of all our cars with your 'projects', if you don't mind me asking, how many of these 'projects' have you done?

Mike,

If our schedules can work, we should try and get together. I'll bet Andreas would be up for meeting.

Unless you need to have the door bins (which are a nice touch but AFAIK unfortunately not avalable to buy seperately) you would be better off fabricating this up yourself w/mdf and factory carpet.

BTW where did you get your rear TT wing and how much was the $ damage (if you don't mind me asking - TIA)

Very cool Mike . . . a triple black cab ? ? ? How can you do wrong with that?

You know . . . if you keep up this pace of fixing up these great cars . . . you just might start propping up the prices for the rest of us even more.

Cannot wait to see the pics.
