No, not a track car but it will be tracked. Fun is the key word with this project although it has to be a serious piece of kit! …..love how you describe it James but should be loud enough to grab attention without the roof!hot66 wrote:there are no rules
it's not a track car is it ? More of a streed rod ....... so personally , I can imagine blasting through the German forests, high comp motor screaming away , sound from the open headers echo back off the mountain sides .... sunroof open to capture the full effect ...
I think I'm with you on this one Andy, all pre-1978Lightweight_911 wrote:I would delete the sunroof but keep the roof steel.
At the front I wouldn't replace everything with composite panels - personally I'd keep the steel wings but swap the bonnet for a grp or carbon fibre version.
But as others have already said, there shouldn't be any rules (but I must admit to a preference for upgrades/mods to be - or at least appear to look - period-correct) - it's your car, do what makes you smile ...

No particular significance other than I wanted to choose a cut off point when the early cars were within reach of the average man and when this type of project might have happened, maybe not 100% historically correct but at least feasible.Lightweight_911 wrote:Just out of interest, what's the significance of picking 1978 as the limit ?

I totally agree Keith although ultimately I think it's the creative types that do this best ….. and unfortunately I'm not one of them! …KS wrote:I've found it fascinating how the modified Porsche scene is now tending to follow two distinct routes: recreations or homages to the comp/sport purpose cars of the past (RS, RSR, S/T etc etc) and now, a new breed of cars where people are throwing off the shackles of the past and doing what they want, rather than what they think will please others. It's got to be healthier for the scene – diversity is good! Too often people build a car with one thought in the back of their mind "Will it be easy to sell". That will always stifle imagination and ultimately the pleasure derived from any project. When the time comes to move on, a well-conceived car will always find a buyer...
was thinking when mines done I might take a trip to Le Mans, past the cathedral, then down some country roads, stop by the side of the road, look pensive and then drive off...hot66 wrote:there are no rules
