993 to 901

Irish Green RSR for you (I think you have to go with a tan interior personally). Otherwise any colour but white...

+1 on John's suggestion

Awesome colour John. How do dark colours fair as a race car?

[reedminor]

What fishie says ( I'm biased) and then get the front of the car protected with Ozi cozi.

Failing that Lime green. There is an st replica owned by a fellow in the states with a surname McLaughlin.... Check on esr. That car is just insane.

The late Tony McKnight who was a close friend and who owned the car before it became a cup car would be delighted either way

Nice in Burgundy with the tan ...

I love that Irish Green, but for a race car -no. Not visible enough on the track for spectators or competing drivers and matching the paint after a minor ding ???
White with logos would be my choice for ease of repair.

I agree with Paul. For a race car, paint it white. It will be stone chipped in 5 minutes and it will drive you crazy trying to keep dark paint looking nice. A quick re spray once a year would not be uncommon, so make it easy to match.
The Irish green would look great in the garage tho.

Red is faster ...

My vote is for this one...

[Paul Ford]

I think I'll leave it white and put on some period correct decals similar to this one.

Can you get Minilites in 15 x 12???

[PCM911T]

The widest seems to be 10"x15in Minilite or Performance Wheels Australia Superlite. Do you still have your old Simmons Wheels?

Yeah, this is the car I keep looking at - the neatest one i've seen

Yes but they are 17's. I want to go to 15's to get the look right. Will probably go for the Braid Replicas.

Before and after of the trunk. I thought the L-R conversion of this car was OK but it was rough as guts and hidden under a lot of bog.
Now how it should be after much effort from my panel guy on the welder and grinder.

Todays before, during and after shots.
Floors are a mess particularly around the corners. The 993 body kit had side skirts preventing access to the jacking points. As a result the car was jacked up on the floors creating this mess.
