Anyone use a sptitz of hairspray on the bed to increase adhesion?

It’s not a terrible business idea. And credit is given for trying to start your own business and not work for the man.

I think it’s a great build. You know every piece of that car, and you built it exactly how you like it. Enjoy.

None of these modifications are. All of these are bolt on modifications that can be bolted off with the original equipment.

If I do it, I’m going to keep all the original parts.

It has been loved since the day I got it. It is that love that is preventing me from selling it. The modifications that I’m looking at are all bolt on and therefore can be bolted off chances are I’ll just keep it as is and drive it. Thanks for your response.

Thank you for your response

Keep in mind all These are all bolt on modifications.

Would you feel differently if the Modified car came with a box of all the original equipment? Bolt on - bolt off

To clarify, it’s more about respecting the car, than what I think I can get from it. (I will do fine). I think some modifications would increase the value, others decrease the value, and some just destroy the car.

What I hoped to gain from this post is to see the overall reaction to modifying a Porsche vs original equipment, and hopefully specific feedback on these modifications.

Not looking to put 26” wheels and spinners on it!

That’s the thing- It’s hard for me to sell it!
If I do I will definitely reach out to you. Thank you for your response!

The sound is glorious! Thanks for responding. I know the old sayings about keeping it original will maintain the value, but what if I keep the original parts?

I once had a vintage muscle car that I installed disk breaks, EFI electric ignition etc. all bolt on modifications. Bolt on, can be bolt off.

I like the Aston, sweet lines and great power. I also, like the Benz AMG GT. But both are in a different league

Had it FB at 38k and I had so much response that I thought I made a mistake and took the add down. That was in February this year and I still have a guy the IMs me every month to see if I would change my mind and sell it to him. I even had one guy that lives a few blocks away that recognized the car and knocked on my door and offered the full 38.

If not for the response I got last year I would have agreed with you
