Default 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!

The car looks so much better with the RUF wheels. When you are ready to part with your red interior, keep me in mind. I might be interested.

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.
