We are excited to feature this 1983 Porsche 911! Andres Barriga, originally from Columbia, has built this beauty in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 

In 2000, Barriga was inspired to build this beauty while working with Porsches. He began working on the build and, like so many of us do, came to set-back after set-back as he progressed. Barriga continued to pursue exceptional work for the upholstery and the paint even as outcomes may not have been desirable at first. Over the course of five years (beginning in 2010), with the support of many friends (and Google), this one-of-a-kind beauty finally came to be. 

 

Barriga's mods include a 964 wide body conversion, RSR style spoiler, Recaro seats recovered on suede and tweed, suede dash and headliner, four-point roll cage, 17x9 17x11.5 HRE wheels, 3.0 liter high compression motor, upgraded cam, headwork, down draft 45mm webers, and headers. Future plans for the car include going fuel injected with a halltech ecu and turbo charging.

 

Barriga is also working on 2 Honda S2000's and a 1961 Lincoln 4-door Hardtop. His dream cars, though, are a 1972 Skyline and a Toyota 2000GT.

 

Barriga would like to give a special thanks to his supportive wife, Igor at National Auto Projects, Tailor Made Upholstery, Santos at SD Fabrication and Mad Mods.
