986 - I've thought about both. the centre-fill would be a LOT of work, however - relocate battery, completely redo the fill pipe (most likely abandon the oem exit on the tank and come out the top while trying to coordinate with the fuel pump location) and deal with all the purge valves and charcoal canister in the process.

the fender vents are also do-able. i'd located some inexpensive FG generic/universal hood vents of a dimension that would work, but uncertain if they could handle the curve of the fender. actually a functional mod, as it vents the fenders out the top instead of under the car - converts upforce to downforce.

otherwise, do the suspension and lower the car, do some exhaust and engine work, strip insulation and roof motors. delete AC. get some gt3 seats with harnesses (perhaps with tartan or houndstooth inserts) take the trim off the rollbar, get the the gt3 console delete piece. next step is the gt3 hvac unit which uses dials instead of electronics, and replace the stereo with a 3 gauge din panel (engine oil temp, engine oil pressure, transmission oil temp, vdo gauges). if you want to keep the stereo just run an ipod adaptor direct to the amplifier in the frunk. that should clean up the interior nicely.
