its semantics as youll still get the same thing, ie a 964 body with gt3 running gear.

Im just thinking of the aesthetics as such, the exterior has been discussed but what about the interior or was it quite plain inside and nothing special?

Id love to do a wide arch kit with a ducktail but talking atleast £10k to do plus the wheels

Are you actually saying that you think doing some retro mods to a GT3 is the same thing as putting GT3 running gear in a 964?

Its 2 TOTALLY different things!

no, you two arguing like school children over who is correct with regards to the 964/gt3 thing.

I should have worded it better but aesthestically, what can be done. The exterior has been covered and now i'd like to discuss the interior. How would people do a modern retro interior (if its possible)

Ok, I wasnt clear on what you are trying to achieve. What about some tartan? Have a look at Magnus Walkers website and get some ideas there.

Easy, it has been done, at least it has to Carreras but the same could be done to a GT3, if you really wanted to.

A bit more searching and it seems these are actually being built and can be bought.

Is this a trend coming? I can see why people might think this is a good idea, but it just doesnt work.

A face only a mother could love.

But as the red conversion seems to be on a 996 rather than a 997, I am sure there will be some along soon saying it is an improvement on the original. Or maybe not!
