A sign of your perfection that you are saying the lid fit is only "ok" 👏 I read your post wrong 🤪 love the badge! Car will look stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc1982 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 yet another great buy andrew, hows the general all round shape of the car? p.s i love decals, they look right on all 911s, was never massive on a ducktail, but i can see it a lot clearer on this car.

It's a good solid SC Martin, thanks. All factory seams intact but it did need some sorting on the ignition, fuel and air due to a 20 year lay up. Looking forward to putting some miles on it.

sc1982 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 a 20 year lay up can be seen as good news, 20 years when it wasnt wearing itself out, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat fuchs Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Fitted the Carrera decals. Went for black ones (thanks Matt) in the end but may still change to gold at some point. Fitted as per the Porsche manual in terms of height from the rubber sill strip and with the tail of the letter 'a' adjacent to the door/wing gap on the drivers side, and the 'C' in the same location on the passenger side... 7 & 8 x 15 fuchs waiting to go on next when I have some new tyres on them...

Busybee Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Not sure if I’m in the minority but I really like this. Makes me want a pair of brown corduroy trousers and a check shirt. Maybe grow a beard. Top stuff as usual Andrew. You know what you need, a project 912 in part ex! Edited October 27, 2018 by Busybee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much to my surprise, the colour is proving really popular with those that have seen it 'in the flesh' so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. Totally late 70’s early 80’s. Guessing it’s quite a rare colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it changes colour significantly under different daylight conditions - from beige through to yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
786 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Looks awesome with the Carrera script, although i would have left the flat lid on it. The 15’s will look perfect. Nicely done. Interesting color too, reminds me a lot of Condor Yellow. Knew a guy with a CGT in that color, 1 of 1 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnonut Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 What made you go black instead of gold? Gold would have been even more awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the stronger contrast. Changing to gold is easy enough if I fancy it going forward - not ruled it out. Cheers FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
786 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Black is my preference too, gold would look odd IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEX P Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 You just cannot put beige and gold together, it's not right. I think all low volume special order colour cars that are a bit different are cool in their own way (even if they are hearing aid beige ). Black script, BLACK Fuchs and duck work well for me. Cool car 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Citizen Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Black looks great but gold would be bold 😍 Easy change to do, new sticker's for the Carrera script, peel off paint for the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaPSC Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Another fab project, Andrew! Must make a change to have one to drive around in whilst the work's in progress. Great colour, too, as many others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
