is it just my eyes or does that Rindt run quite significant negative camber on the front
those rims are too big for that car
Looking at the front on photo I'd say you are right. those rims are too big for that car

My 3.6 SC backdate will be going up for sale again soon. Not for the purist but a little more authentic looking than the Rindt.
Where will you list it ?!

Great write up BB…good luck with the sale.
I stumbled accros Kalmar in Sweden recently, and while I only find little info and pic (short search) this dark green classic just looks great, imho.
I love the clean rear view without any rear spoiler and I like the clean sideview. Also I'm a fan of the derailed rain gutter. All in all, it looks very clean without trying too hard to be something it is not (2.7 rs or the like). Oh, and green is arguably the best colour for a 911
Just had a closer look, and I really like what they are doing!
And there is active aero after all
I really, really like their approach. Also their rally cars and their work with Cayennes looks good. I think I have a new favourite Porsche restomod company
Correction: they are Danish, not Swedish!

Looks good and clean indeed, about the flush glass at the rear on this example, then they close the top cabin air release valves?I love the clean rear view without any rear spoiler and I like the clean sideview.

So I guess they then would have made some new ones in the rear down lower which say come out in the engine compartment? no idea, but it looks good, also without the gutters, which I've also seen in other Porsche tuners, maybe also Ruff? forgot which ones.
engine bay also nice clean.
slightly off topic....
I might have to import my 996 to the UK as I might not be able to get it through German TÜV (very annoying).
If I do so, I am considering to get it resprayed (colour change) and the interior redone in a different colour / material mix.
Who would you guys recommend in the UK for that type of work - I do not need "the-best-of-the-best", more like decent quality at a reasonable cost. It is not a vintage Ferrari / Porsche after all...

To bring it back on topic: What mods did you do to your 996? I know German TÜV is strict (although less so than Swiss MFK) but with enough time (and money) almost everything is possible. The incredible CLR 996 was TÜV approved for instance.I might have to import my 996 to the UK as I might not be able to get it through German TÜV (very annoying).

Incredible !! Not as light as Richard King's 911 but probably more practical.... and safer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YmnseEmny4
Reminds me of the stories about the ''67R when Larousse promised the Porsche engineers a case of champagne for every kilo they could remove from the S. They got it down to 800kg but then that was a 6 cylinder engine with 210hp.

oh, and for me if its carbon, then this (above) is a bit to much in your carbon face.Then Donkervoort with their carbon parts does a way better job, they can also make it in see through? (option called naked carbon I believe) color, but for example, those pictures of carbon see through it looks in color but you can still see the carbon under certain lights or angles or close ups..
some close ups>
from a bit further it looks more just in color, I like such.
but they also have such in more colors, like say red or blue or green, very nice stuff.
close up>
a bit further away
People will just be asking you where you got the carbon wrap from, or indeed why you've wrapped an old car in carbon-look vinyl. I'm not sure why people like those wiggly lines all over every surface anyway.
From a practical point of view I wouldn't want rigid, brittle carbon on the exposed extremities of a car where it can easily take a knock. It's a bugger to repair when you need it to look good and match the rest of it. You can't just fill and paint over it.
