So i keep seeing 964's(?) being jacked up for the Rallye/Paris Dakar look and im liking it alot.

However, to purchase one of these cars (one is going to the Autosport Auction in Jan), then you need to part with 60-70k.

So as im not interested in doing that, im wondering what components youd need to do it?

IM quite tempted to do this as recently ive been driving down undulating roads.

Depends how far you want to go, taller springs and some stickers will be pretty cheap, a full rally prep'd build will be very expensive.

There's only one rally 911 though.

Is it a case of just getting Ohlin R&T and having them at full height?

Ive got MeisterR coilovers on my daily and i know i can jack that up by a good few inches if required
 
Nah, not for me. A rally rep that never enters a rally.

You may as well do this. :D

Rally cars look awful aesthetically but they serve a purpose and are mega impressive at what they do. To have the looks but none of the engineering would be a bit of a no no for me.
 
What about this? 😎

Saw this one in Savanna in the US in 2016



 
Why stop at a 911 when you could have one of these.

We saw Henri Toivonen's Corsica car at the Summer Festival

... but to answer your question, I see no reason why you shouldn't create a replica (it's no different from adding a bunch of Martini/Rothmans/Gulf vinyl decals to make it look like a race car), but I think you need to decide if you want to create a full on Dakar/Safari rally car (the big wheels/massive ride height/roof rack set up), a gravel spec rally car (raised ride height, aluminium skid plates, knobbly tyres on smallish rims), or a tarmac special (wide semi-slicks, cage/buckets, spots) and then do a proper job. It might turn out to be pretty expensive if you want to rock the proper fully adjustable suspension though.
