Hi!


Well, I posted some questions Before, but I thought I introduce me, and of course my car proberly.

I am kind of new to the porscheworld. Bought a 996 Cab 01 last summer and drove it like I stole it until the Winter came

So right now its in the garage and I have begun to take it a part to modify it to the ultimate porsche cab. Or at least the ultimate porsche cab imho

The pics are from last summer when I bought the car.

The car has only ca 35 k miles on it, and wery few owners.

After browsing the intire picturethread i realized as I said above, I have to do some modifcations on the car.

So what will I do with it? Well as I am an oemguy, I will as far as possible stick to OEMmodification.

Here is the list (so far):

When i removed the frontbumper, I cleaned the radiators, wow! If you havnt done that yes on your own car - do it!

I spent several hours in the garage just cleaning the car, escpicially the leather, it was so dry! What a diffrence a couple of hours can make to the interiror! I also polished the paint, so the car realy shines now.

Ok, so i will be posting some more pics, when i recieve the things i ordered, and when the Project moves on.

Cheers for now!

(Last pic is how she looks now!)

 

Nice work!

 

very nice ! is that a Techart steering wheel ?

 

Yes! It came with the car when i bought it. But later i changed to the GT3 RS steeringwheel instead.

 

does the techart wheel have a smaller diameter ?

 

Yes, its a bit smaller and much more thicker. Compared to the normal 996 steeringwheel its much more nicer.

There is a similar steeringwheel called T96. Its kind of the same size but look more like oem.

 

Here is a Picture with the GT3 RS steeringwheel installed, and center console removed.


It is curently away to be painted in the same colour as the car.

 

looks real good

 

I'd really like to have a GT3 steering wheel. But I currently have a 4 spoke wheel( and thus need the 3 spkoke airbag) and that upgrade would be really expensive. Looks great though!

 

Yes, I know, seams like all oem-parts cost a fortune my tip is ebay, you can find quite a lot good used parts there.






Thx!

 

I have seen the steering wheels going for about $1200 and another $500 for the airbag. Too rich for me. That money can buy other parts that can directly affect performance. Maybe if I win the lottery but then I'd buy he rest of the GT3!

 

Great looking car!! Looks like your really enjoying it.

 

Thx! Yeah, its kind of relaxing beeing in the garage and doing things with the car, although expensive


Today i got a new package! And installed my new cluster rings. Lots of lots of lots of mouting tape was needed haha...


Also jacked up the car to remove the Wheels. There are going on a Little (extreme) makeover........ Wow, realy need to Clean behind the Wheels, so Dirty. Will be the project for this weekend...


More pics to come!


BTW, anyone have any side skirts GT3 mk1 4 sale, let me know!

 

I want those wheels!
what are they called and are they 18" or 19"?

 

Nice purchase BTW I have the same car, loving it
