Nah that's my mate's GT which has been in photos of me doing car-stuff since well before i had a license haha, he had the trailer on and was picking up his brother's new SBC crate motor that came across in the same container as the 911S Targa

Plans are pretty mild, bumper mod, heater ducting backdate, fit a factory chin spoiler, fix all the little shit. Paint was done pretty recently, seats, RS doorcards, targa trim and carpet was all done recently. Going to have to fiddle with some electrics, switches etc.

It's already really fast, handles really well and looks really good. Kinda takes the fun out of it but god it's good to drive

What's wrong with a left hooker? Very entertaining to drive on the road, and the pedalbox is in a better position, how they were designed to be.

This car is just obnoxious as, I love it. Loud as frOck, fast, open top, sit on the wrong side of it etc. Such a good street car

Does it have a radiator? Why the fu ck would someone buy a Porsche with a radiator? Jesus christ of course it doesn't have a radiator lol

Tidy up the engine bay and lose the US-gayness of the bumpers, fix a few little things, harness in and thrash the pants off it.
