Project Car

No - not a junk heap one might own but prefer to refer to as a "project car". No I was thinking about what to do with a firm but ageing SC. Mine has 135K on the clock , engine sound (crosses fingers) , top end and gear box rebuild with a bit of rust in the usual places. I know I am tempting fate but it seems to be at the moment a sound car which is never going to take top dollar because it's an SC and it will have higher mileage than many I see.

If my business venture works then in a few years time I hope to get a 993 4S/Turbo/RS - which'll be nice. I was wondering what to do with the SC. In the likely event of the it not being worth that much and I will of course be making so much money that a 993TT will be small change [:D]- what do I do with the SC ?

One obvious option is to turn it in to a track car but I'm not that happy with the 915 box - mine's good by 915 standards but I'd rather use the 993 TT :)

The other option is to turn it into something else . I'm not that keen on '73 RS conversions But I was wondering what other special cars of it's vintage could I "fake" it into. I did think about that Dakar Rally based SC which was on show at Goodwood. Something extreme like that. Or perhaps a Gulf respray. I don't think I'll be fitting a V8 in the front or going Chav Nova style but a discrete supercharger is always an option [:-]

Anyone got any suggestions ?
 
Great idea if I was considering redoing my project my favourites would be a Rothmans SCRS Dakar replica or a '67 911R (but obviously long wheelbase) go for the SC Dakar replica in Rothmans , if you need any help I'm up for it (if you are not too far away). You need to be able to do as much DIY as you can or it will cost a fortune.
