Nice 986. I like the wheels a lot. When you get a chance, post some pics of your tub also. I'm a huge 356 fan.

Thanks, I think they're the Cup wheels, not sure. I know I've seen 'em on 996s and such though.

I'll try and get pics of the 356 soon. It's a '62 Normal non-sunroof coupe, (so it's hardly desirable), with a Bali blue exterior and a red interior, but I love it and it's in GREAT original shape. Literally owned by a little old lady in California, it only has 54,000 miles on it and came with the original black plate.

It's currently waiting to be "freshened up" since I'm in the military and can't get home as much as I want to work on it. It needs about a weekend's worth of work on the engine and it will be rolling. Then I'm gonna go through her systems, (brakes, electrical, suspension), and freshen them up, then drive it while I spruce up the interior.

Maybe it's hardly desireable to some, but it would be very desireable to me. The blue/red combination is such a cool period look. I currently have two restoration projects actively going, and a line of others in waiting, but I've promised myself a 356 project at some point. I'd love to see the pictures of yours when you get time.
