Fugly - a poor man's 911 build thread

Great work, following with interest. Although I think I might be alone in have some strange regret about the demise of the barchetta-911 cross.

Underneath that fresh exterior is still a little air cooled 911 called Fugly...I agree that in 20 years it will look like the ultimate and unique 1980’s pastiche and be worth a fortune as an oddity unlike any other 911...sadly it was butchered in 2020 into YET ANOTHER :yawn: backdate

Stick with your preference and go with that Lancia blue on the Bentley.

Add the brass/ gold metal Porsche script across the rear lid...

Well, I’ve decided on the colour. Pro9 have been informed. Not going with Fiat Blue.

But you’d have to look at it for 20 years!

If you had two you could keep it ... but I’m keen on the singer for 35k plan. Epic.

You're toying with those recommending originality. Excellent! This is your opportunity to order a 'new' 911 in your specification rather than the first owners. Make the most of it.

Are you doing the bodywork yourself or having it done by somebody else?

I approve of this. It looked amazingly awful previously!

All being done by Pro9 in Birmingham. My 2nd Project with them. I got a handyman round last week to change a downlighter bulb in my bathroom. I’m not a hands on guy...

Apologies ARROW BLUE not archer. It’s going to its original as it’s cheaper not to colour change. Budget build. Mustn’t forget. I sometimes wake up and think I’m rich so I behave like I’ve got loadsa money. Get on the Porsche configurator. Check out a few yachts online. I end up believing it. Sadly time to keep belts tight. We do what we need to do with this build to do it properly but zero waste or extravagance. I just spent £7000 upgrading a 2003 Audi Allroad. I think I’ll get £700 back if I sell it....

Oooh this is going to be splendid. Arrow blue will look amazing.

I hope to do something similar in the future.

You’re right. So right. But will end up selling this one day. Have decided to do my 3 door Range Rover Classic in Lord Blue instead so I still feel rich/ my needs being attended to

This was the 964 C4 Pro9 built before for me so originality can be messed with...
