Porsche ’83 targa to 993 RSR coupe

When I was a kid, Porsches were only owned by doctors or business men, or plastered on bedroom walls of kids like me. Now it’s more than obvious that the once unreachable German exotics are firmly in the grasps of people like you and I who like to tear things apart and put them back together any which way we choose. I like that, very much.

This Porka started it’s life as a 1983 targa-top, which at some point had a hardtop roof grafted on to it. That’s how Petter from Sweden found it, in a sorry state but with the roof swap already done (even though he would tweak it later to make it perfect). A full rebuild then took place, set off by an RSR body kit and some big Fuch’s to seal the deal, along with the face-smacking bright green paint. I think what I love the most about this build is the crystal clear photos that Petter takes, it makes me feel like I’m right there with him along the way. Strangely, my favourite phase of the build is seeing the car in all different colours before it was painted, what the hell is wrong with me?!

  1. This is beautiful. I’d heard race teams coupe the targa as it’s easier to cage and stiffer.

  2. “Strangely, my favourite phase of the build is seeing the car in all different colours before it was painted, what the hell is wrong with me?!”

    Maybe a forbidden love with a Golf Harlequin?

    Nice Porsche!the future of it looks promising

  3. This looks stunning, i am very interested on doing something like this, would be willing to help me out as far as pricing for parts and how much it cost you all in ?

    Thanks,
    Rami
