Should be a pretty fun car! I’ve just bought a new steering wheel for it, some rennline floor plates and eyeing up a wevo shifter and REPA harnesses. The plan is to carpet it in the correct style carpet, fit RS door cards and re-fit the original VDO dials with the stack dash going where the clock should be.

Lovely !!
A bit different to your Mk1 GT3. I trust it's not a garage queen, so more usable too ?
Indeed it is different, I really miss the GT3 but like you say, this is more useable and gives me something to tinker with and more of a project. Can’t wait until the spring! A bit different to your Mk1 GT3. I trust it's not a garage queen, so more usable too ?
A visual copy of the Carrera RS 3.0 (#9114609017) that finished 6th at Le Mans in 1976 in the hands of Alain Cudini and Raymond Touroul, although in the race it had a couple of lamps taped to the front bumper! See https://porschepicturespast.com/forums/topic/le-ma... Post#6682 for that car in action.
