It's going to live in another state. And I don't really care about CARB!

Still undecided between Fuchs or BBS, either way they're going to be wide!

Yes, the tele dials must go, but don't see them off, originally came w/ car. When it comes times to sell her, it will be a plus. What color BBS you considering? Back in the day, red w/ gold was a major combo. I'd either go gold or black, but given your light interior, maybe leaning gold....

I absolutely love Guards Red, but the color is going to change! Interior is changing as well. Wheels will be gold

Found some OEM 930 slant nose rear quarter panels and decided to use them instead of modifying the TRE turbo flares in the back...

Plugging up holes we no longer need and welding the rear 930 M505 quarter panels on. Mocking up the front TRE turbo flares.
