RUF Appearance Conversion
I have been a Porsche enthusiast since a teen. I have had the oportunity to own an 87 944s, 86 928s, 85.5 944, and a 79 930. Last year I picked up a beautiful 1982 930 Turbo and have recently gotten it back from a very reputable 911 only specialist out of the twin cities (Aaron Hatz) at FLATSIX Inc. When I obtained the car out of WI from another enthusiast who upgraded to a GT3 the car was pristine condition. I have always been fond of the RUF cars and decided to upgrade the looks and some performance to the car to that of the 80's RUF. I acquired a set of Speedline RUF's in 17x8/10's in perfect original condition from a fellow in Canada. I also added a RUF front spoiler. Aaron custom built the front grill using an old SC rear deck cover. I had a Fabspeed dual exhaust put on, lowered the car below euro specs, had the engine gone through replacing every gasket, hose, plug wires, plugs, tensioner upgrade, etc, 1 bar spring and much more. On the interior I put in a MOMO competition wheel. I sorta like the original red interior, but plan to redo it someday. The carpet is new and so are the door panels. This is turning into the dream car I have always wanted. Just a few more preformance tweaks and it will be to my liking. I just thought I would share the conversion so far with everyone here. If you are from MN shoot me a message and I would be happy to meet up with you sometime. The first 3 pics are of when I got it. The rest are after the conversion. Enjoy the pics!

To those who have inquired about the polished fuches... I still have them and planned on keeping them unless I get a decent offer on them. It has very good tread Bridgestones on them. And thanks for the compliments on the car. I love it! It's actually schwartz gray, not black.
