Lovely !!

A bit different to your Mk1 GT3. I trust it's not a garage queen, so more usable too ?

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.



I’ve also collected all of these……





And it will look like this….

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 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.
