I am a huge fan of the 1996 Porsche Turbo, Tamiya kitted a 993 body style GT2 instead, so using parts from the Italari Turbo, I'm converting the GT2 to stock 1996 Turbo styling. I had to reshape the fenders, fill in some race only holes in the body, and swap in the turbo front clip and wing.

Within days you should see it gleaming in Porsche Areba Red Paint.

I think you mean 'Arena red,' no?(code L84, if memory serves correctly) That's one of my favorite Porsche colors from that era, and the 993 twin turbo is also a favorite....I got to wring one out when I worked at a Porsche dealer around 1998, and it still makes me smile thinking about it today.
