The Corrado Replacement - Project 964

[24V Renshaw 0]

Well here it is, the replacement for my recently sold Corrado.

Its a Porsche 911, 964 Carrera 4. The car I have wanted to own since I was 16. I have plans for it, obviously :)

First here are some pics before I do anything to it.

The car is unbelieveable to drive and everything I hoped it would be. Will (if its OK on a Corrado Forum) :oops: keep you up to date with what I do to it.

D-90's will sell well :lol:

needs smoothing, drop and dash conv

 

well i think thats what your gonna do....

 

awesome car btw and good luck to ya mate, still bet ya missing the rado?

[24V Renshaw 0]

Since driving this I must admit I am not missing the Rado as much! :)

 

The rear wiper will go, the indicators and side repeaters will be clear, the door handles will be 993 ones, the car will be dropped and I will be fitting these :) :)

PS if you need help sourcing any materials for the interior drop me a pm, we build limo's and hearse's so I have contacts for getting all sorts of interior trim materials / a stock of a lot too.

24V Renshaw, damn those wheels, never guess what we just found on ebay

[24V Renshaw 0]

gsbellow - glad to have been of service mate ;) and thanks for the offer, may be in touch at a later stage :)

 

Furkz - What have you just found on ebay?

 

Jay

[Furkz 0]

same wheels as them lol

[24V Renshaw 0]

Nope, the ones on Ebay at the mo (assuming thats the ones) are 3 piece "look" not actual 3 piece. My ones are actual 3 piece split rims :) Still PHAT either way :)

Can't wait to get them on, but I think the car needs a drop first :(

[Furkz 0]

ones i seen are true 3 peice splits mate :wink:

a blank canvas does'nt get to look any better than that bute! Nice car Jay, bet your loving that noise.

 

What colour is it bud?

 

Sooooo many things you could change inside and out the more you look at it. Again like the C though i guess it takes some thought not to lower the tone or the solid look they have about them. looks like your off to a flyer though!

woah ben youre obviously a bit annoyed jay no longer has a dub but let it go buddy no need to go on about it :lol:

[24V Renshaw 0]

Yep there is plenty I can do to it. Keep coming up with ideas the more I look at it.

The noise is awesome, it has a sports stainless system on it too, so sounds mint!

The colour is Slate grey I think, but I have not actually looked it up yet.

nice motor mate!

 

quick question, why no whale tail on the rear? I thought they came as standard?

[chrishill 0]

lovely porker there jay, as someone else said earlier on its simular to the corrado in that it looks good as-is and only really needs bringing up to date in terms of styling, but i'm sure you already know exactly what you're doing and will create something special.

awesome porka.. cant wait to see it dropped & rims fitted... 8)

cos its ala Corrado and electric..........the 964 models onward had the electric one has standard,the only ones with a fixed whaletail/spoiler were the Turbo variants of the 964/993 and the 993RS/GT2
