Default ^ ^ What? I thought I was the normal one!

I have a sickness?

Wow, this is really messing with my reality. I thought I was just doing what anyone would do, by making the world a more beautiful place, one 993 Speedster photo at a time!

Big thanks to those who have joined in with new pix & info. For example, I've had a 993 Speedster photo saved for years, & now realize it's Mark Porsche's, thanks to 996Carrera (post #12).

I'll share that later. In the meantime, enjoy more of the 1994 964 Speedster updated to a 993 Speedster. It's the same 911 as featured in many above pix (before 2nd owner's wheel & light updates), but looks darker.
From the above mag (#90). If they need to be removed for any reason, just let me know.

Default Translation: "From my experience, Curve Lovers's perfectly normal. PERFECTLY" ...



... or maybe, "One just has to get behind the wheel. Alluring, the Speedster!"

I have many pictures from the factory of the narrow and wide bodies in production from those days. (Unfortunately, no time to scan).
I just stumbled upon this pretty cool 2002 discussion with Adrian Streather: 1994 Speedster Widebody?

Caption: There are only two body parts common between 964 Carrera 2s and the 993: doors and mirrors.

Curve,

Why not just build one yourself? Parts would be around $5,000. Then you could just look into the driveway to feed your addiction rather than on rennlist!

I'd like nothing better; sounds great. Then I could just take pix of my own sled to share.
Almost as good: please tell me you're secretly building some, like in the "Rear Seat Defeat" thread.
I prefer factory parts, but agree with the following from there:

In this Speedster thread, $20k's an estimate for parts. Some try to get $5,000 just for 1 part. $5k for all required parts? Cool! Where? Please share. If assuming non-OEM, please elaborate.

Im loving the pictures! I think the speedster looks way better with the top down though (judging from that last pic). And the "Speedster" script is just SOO cool

Curve,

I wouldn't say such a thing just as a tease. I have sources (I think). I don't know if these are factory but they sure look like it. If not, who cares. Also, I dont know all the required parts but these seem like the only ones you would need to source. The rest could probably be fabricated.

Windshield w/frame - 2,000 E

http://www.v-zweeden.com/product_inf...oducts_id=1640

Doors - 900 E each

http://www.v-zweeden.com/product_inf...oducts_id=1644

Top cover - 610 E

http://www.v-zweeden.com/product_inf...oducts_id=1641

or if you want to splurge Strosek - 2,950 E

http://www.v-zweeden.com/product_inf...oducts_id=1639

Door glass, just have it cut.

Might be much more complicated but thought I would share those parts with you! Good luck!
