Default can I turbo my 85 na??

one day I found myself looking at this picture way too long..



the next thing I found out is that I get this funny feeling when I look at this picture for more than 3 hours...

I knew then that I have to do something about that..

so I went and got myself this:



and did that:




so, what do you think? am I an idiot, or may this actually work? and I get a totally awesome NA with turbo S engine, gearbox and all the godies that came with it?

Sweet.
I have always liked the guys who aren't scared to improve on the n/a.
Looks like a cool project and could be the ultimate sleeper.
keep us updated!

How long before someone says, "you can buff that out"?

After careful study of the photos I figured out how the accident happened.

That's the ideal project. You have all the big parts and little bits to do it right. Have fun!

wow...best of luck with that

not to be rude, but wouldn't it have been easier to start with a 944 n/a that wasn't balled up though?

I think I'd clean up the body and made sure the car rolled in a straight line first, but that's awsome work!

Kinda makes me think of Rock's S2 cab with a turbo transplant for some reason...
