brings back memories of my 1975 1303LS karmann beetle convertible,tan interior,
imported from Germany in 1990 to the UK, LHD under German plate SE DU240 and converted to RHD, only had to change the hood in white and innner lining and heat exchangers and repaint in Tornado red, bloody thing started first time, every time.

due to the lack of modding from the torch bearers like jacky, this has turned out to be a 911 and classic car section!!!!
No I have not. It's nice car though if you don't mind about the gas mileage. Market price for a 928S4 is below $100K now. But if I want to buy, I will only get the 928 GTS.

Nothing will be done on my interior as it already looks sharp & original. In fact modding classic car requires a different touch compared to comtemporary car. I may get a pair of original Turbo sport seats and that's all (only if I can find them).
keep it as original as you can.
I for 1 will never mod the looks of a classic car. Just the bars to make it more safe and stiff.

wow you had a karmann beetle convertible, 1 of my favorite too
well with the E60 getting abit old and no more fun mods for the car. I think most of us looking for other fun stuff to play with.

you will have to wait because it is in the workshop doing a very big mod on the car and its taken 3 weeks to do
After it will out run any M3 cars

Reliability is questionable for this kind of extensive modding.
