Blackbird Transforms to 935 K3 Phase 1

Okay so due to my motor needing a retune I figured that it was time to also get the K3 bodywork off of the wall at Zuffenhaus which will allow us to lower the rake on the rear of the car and install the Über wing.

Plan:

Install ITB's

Body
Rear K3 quarter panels
Rear K3 window overlay
Rear K3 tail
Custom K3 Wing element splicing 2 wings together to match body width and 16" deep
Custom K3 side/rocker panels to match Jagermeister car with straight rockers
Composite/Carbon fiber 993 Evo doors with 935 mirrors
Lexan rear window
Lexan quarter windows
Lexan door windows
Duct 5" intake ports through chassis to IC Plenum
Fab IC Plenum in fiberglass
Sunroof delete with 1972 911 roof welded in
Custom tubular rear crossmember a la K3 (truncated chassis)

Suspension
Install 800 lbs rear springs
Install 935 K3 Rear Suspension
Raise rear suspension pickup points 4"

Interior

More progress on the seats:

I can't say thank you enough to Stefan for his work on my seat, i'm thrilled and overjoyed about the results.

Stefan, you are the MAN!

He was charged with taking my original 935 Vasek Polak lollipop and upholstering it in the Peter Gregg tartan plaid - and along the way he fixed a couple of cracks in the headrest (seat is for shows and light driving). Best upholstery guy to deal with, knowledgable and delivered exactly what I asked for with no issues or dissapointments.

One VERY happy customer.

Thanks for the nice words guys - the work on the car is being done in Charlotte, NC at Zuffenhaus - if you read Excellence then you should know that shop well

The seat was done in Austin, Tx by a former 935 driver and very very kewl guy named Stefan Scheissing.

Update from Zuffenhaus is the MOTEC is being tuned this week/end and the bodywork should go on either today or monday...can't wait. Only 7 more days until i'm there and she should be driveable.

I'm glad the Pcar guys get a kick out of this one as its nice to see and know that the history and inspiration of the ***** to the wall 935 isn't lost and it still gets the shocked looks and awe inspired gazes that befit her. I was losing faith there for a bit that most Pcar guys in current cars were unaware of the origins of their turbos and how Porsche became such a dominant force - but it looks like i'm pleasently surprised...

This is more than a car. It is a true work of art!! This is what got me hooked on being a Porsche owner.

Thanks for making another car for folks like me to dream about!
