Well, it was 2 years ago that I made out the list but I doubt that prices have increased by that much. Interesting, will have to investigate further.

with the 993 tub requiring the rear fenders removed to brace the structure etc, would the 964 cabrio tub require the same thing?
Or is this just a 993 issue?

Just depends whether you want the shell Porsche stiff or 9m stiff. Nothing wrong with Porsche stiff on a narrow body car with 7" & 8" x 17" wheels & road tyres. Widen that to turbo, add 9" & 11" x 18" rims and it's a whole new ballgame.

Beautiful job, beautiful car. I had seen 993 Speedsters around or the years and knew ther were not a factory option and apart from the 2 cars mentioned in this thread, but Know I know so much more about them.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm jealous but glad you two are still enjoying these beautiful cars! Didn't the white one sell recently? JPP, great to hear from you and let me know when you're ready to gift yours to me!

Nice to see some new Speedster content being posted - please continue!! I think we all grew sick and tired of the red around here... Maybe it was just me.

Anyway - really glad to see you are both still enjoying your wonderful Speedsters - I remember both build threads well.
