Not crazy about white but I would make an real quick exception with yours. Like the front bumper. Fits well with the rest of the car. Did you look at 89's and 964 T's as well. I'm looking at a 87 turbo with 14000 miles and rear fender vents and boxed rockers. Not sure if it is a real slant nose delete, the dealer is asking mid $40's. I like yours with the front body mod.

Thanks, I think it fits very well together!
I didn't look at 964/5 only 930's from 86 up...
My choice came down to a 89 930 and this 87 930. I passed on the 89 because of the
extensive mods that were done on it and didn't believe they were done correctly.
The one thing I will do soon on this car is raise its ride height just a
bit or risk grinding off the tow hooks
An 87 with only 14k miles??? I though mine was extremely low mi!!

Beautiful car, Rod!
Love that 3-spoke RUF wheel.
Welcome to the insanity. I mean obsession. I mean passion. I mean, oh hell, just enjoy the damn thing! I love white.

0-80 mph in a 930 can only be described as "VIOLENT" 
I had no idea what these cars could do until I drove one 3 weeks ago!!
This one will never leave the stable

One of the cheaper interior upgrades you can make is a boost gauge that replaces the clock. Way more accurate and fun to watch than your tiny little stock gauge. Besides who cares what time it is when you're in the beast?

I distinctly remember that car for sale it was advertised last summer in July/ August (I believe) on Pelican Parts and was located in San Diego, the owner also had a big RV and a pretty large garage?
Anyhoo I admired it extensively.
Sounds like you got yourself a great car. I really like the stance of it, so I hope you do not raise it a great deal.
Welcome to joy of 930 ownership.
