No longer a Porsche... It appears that the hood Porsche crest badge location was filled.

The badge will go back once the car has been polished. And maybe stickered...

Plates will come off for pics and show. But the local traffic authorities do like to collect funds for the daily KFC lunch...

I do have a set of 2-piece BBS wheels just like that, but in 18". And for some reason they look wrong (smaller) than other 18". Trying to locate 19", not easy out here in the bush...

Loving this project and the direction. Sounds like you have some solid ideas and a vision for the end product. Love the color and the wing. Looking forward to the next steps!

The wing is special. Will post some pictures soon. It is a modern take on the Duck with a bit of ears

More to come...
Then why the heck not Gulf Blue, quite close to this and classic!
