Looks great. Where did you find her? Any plans for the slippery slope of mods?

Tanks everyone.

My Dad actually gave her to me. He ordered and took delivery in April 1995. If I recall correctly I belive that he told me it was one of the first 993 TT delivered in the US. I think that it was actually ordered prior to the majority of dealers even having the build codes in their system. I have been asking him for years and he finally decided to pass her on to me. This car was his baby.

A few of the first things I did were change out the pedals to Sullivan Racing, install a K40 and overhaul the sound system, and changed out the mufflers and tips to Fister black ceramic coated.

My dad kept telling me not to change out anything becuase the vaule in the car is in it being all original but these seem like tasteful mods that could easily be changed back over to stock with no issues.

When he gave her to me it was nice to hear him say that he could not think of anyone else who would take care of her any better than I would and that he had no regrets in doing so.

This (whole story) speaks volumes of your relationship with your father, and the character of both.

Guards Red is my #1 favorite color, followed closely by Riv Blue of course.

Sounds like you have a heck of a father-son relationship, congrats!
