1986 Porsche 930 Turbo Speed Yellow...........Project Begins

[andrew_churcher]

Thought I would begin a post here as the car isnt standard so not for the "purist" so to speak. Also am sure there is plenty I could learn from other turbo or modified car owners

After picking the car up a week or so ago it was straight off to Daytona Coachworx in Hertfordshire to get the bodywork sorted (though I told him no rush and he has a few other Porsches to fettle at the moment). First priority is getting a front wing......which is proving a challenge as no one seems to have one....except the OPC of course. Will keep hunting around before deciding whether to get a new pork one. If anyone has one or knows of where I can source one that would be appreciated.

No concrete plans but a hotted up engine would be one option.......or maybe drop in a 993 turbo lump.......hmmm......i can see some research coming on.........

may look at lowering the car slightly and space the wheels out a tad........

Some pics......as it is now and how it look a few weeks before Christmas.

I hope you enjoy. Its a stunning looking car in SY (well imo anyway)

Passed this on the M25 last Saturday - it was on the back of a flatbed and you could spot it a mile off Looks lovely in the flesh - good luck with the project.

 

[andrew_churcher]

that would be it mate haha. Hows your project coming along? is it finished?

934 is the ONLY modified route mate ..... otherwise keep as standard and enjoy .... Same chassis as 934!

 

[andrew_churcher]

934...hmm.......I see what you mean...

 

[carreraboy]

Porsche did a road version with lightweight carpeted interior with air con ... they also did a 934.5 with a huge rear spoiler .... and allegedly a one off RHD that was competitive and won the Aussie series ..... I did consider this route, body kit just goes straight on ....

[andrew_churcher]

Andrew, I have a 934 rep just completed if you require any assistance. I also just saw this in evil bay and not sure if front wings would fit but might be an option for lightweight etc until steel turns up
