As promised here is the 911 once I got home.
The front fenders and bumper are off because the previous owner was going to install Lambo door hinges.........:eek:

Nice project! It's very rewarding to bring these cars back to original. For my Targa we had to use various new parts such as a front fender so it really doesn't make sense to worry about date-matching parts elsewhere. And for me the fun is mostly in the driving. I wouldn't say no to a nice set of date-matching Fuchs though.

Sounds like you got there just in the nick of time :O
It does appear that matching date codes is the least of things.
Yeah, I get it. But since I'm taking on this project, I was just wondering how "true" is "true enough". Apart from the quarters, the parts I'll be changing you wouldn't know what came on the car from the assembly line and what didn't. It won't look like the same car when I'm finished with it. Some would say, just run it as is and enjoy it. Some would say, I'd never even attempt a project like this and that I was crazy (which might be true!) Some would say, challenge accepted!Quote:
