thinking about body redesign
#41

Flash,



This had crossed my mind as well. You're probably right, although my understanding is that arktech is long extinct.



Off topic, but did you get my email about your shift knob insert? Thanks.

Those fenders are from a swiss company (cant recall the name at the moment). Thats their project 968. It is two tone because it isnt complete...the headlights arnt even mounted in that pic, its just a lense sitting on the fender, there is no light inside. This place also makes a Turbo RS type rear spoiler, 968 rear seat delete carpet and a few other things for our cars.



In regards to arktech, they still exist. They just no longer race a 968 or make products for the 968.

Its http://www.deutschnine.com although nothing on their website. Bit of background (not from me):



"All other headlight conversions that I have seen (a red car, an amethyst metallic one and a yellow one) just had the headlight units rested in the original wings. That looked quite frog-eyed and the angle of the headlight units is far too flat. In order to get a solution which looks like the factory would have produced it for the car, we had to "marry" the front part of a 993 wing to the 968 wing, heavily increase the angle that the light unit sits in the wing (which ment moving down at the front and moving upwards at the rear) and subsequently build the wing up about 2cm's from the rear of the headlight unit on about 60cm's backwards. Then, to finish it off perfectly, the new side line had to be carefully built up and integrated so that we have a perfect cross-breed of 968 and 993 wing"





"original headlight units of the 993 are (1) very heavy and (2) too long to fit into the 968 front without having to cut the metal work on the car. I therefore would like to do a lightweight headlight unit which uses a custom reflector and rear case and an E-approved Hella headlight unit and the stock glass cover. This way, looks will stay the same, it will therefore look factory and the conversion in total will save between 15 and 20kg's...so updated looks and reduced weight, what better can there be [Image: smile.gif]"

yeah - no chance they are going to save that much weight, as the original setup doesn't weight that much altogether, but i could probably live with the raise in fender profile



likely to be pretty expensive though
