Very nice! Were mechanical modifications part of the Gemballa package, or was it cosmetic only?
Thanks for the pics & welcome to Rennlist!

Thank you for welcome 
I don't know whole of the history of those models but the first i used to have was with very hard struts, modified front wheels angle (sorry don't know how to explain as my technical english is quite poor) with enlarged tires, a straight exhaust but the most amazing was the chassis. In this time i didn't even knew about special options in the back of the car but i feel it should have a M030 in comparison of an "normal" one. I sold it and now the pictures you see is only a try to rebuild one. I bought this very rare kit in Germany, made it paint by a professional and here's the result but unfortunately i can't get back the feel the first one gave me.

Thank you i'm happy, (if you are not joking) to see that my car is not so old fashioned or because it is it's an eye pleasure 
I spent a year to find those parts, seeking even a copy of it but no way, even been in contact with Gemballa in Leonberg Germany but no way to get this body kit anymore
It's really sad (well for me) that they just stopped production of it, they don't even have plans or molding of it or maybe they have them but they don't want to release them
Finally i get those parts from a Leipzig's junkyard helped by a German student fan of Porsche.

This one yes, the previous one i don't know just because i bought it from Germany but in France they never wanted to agree that this car was able to use French roads, how to explain you...
You know we have an authority like in every country that allows or not the cars to be used on roads. So as this model was never imported in France they decided that i couldn't use it and when i see some old peugeot or renault completely rusted, bumped rolling here i think this authority is really nuts.
All this to say that when i heard this first i was disappointed and second i was in real rage against them. I was having no other choice than return the car to the garage that sold it to me. In the end the engine is a mystery for me i don't know what was really under the hood but i'm suspecting that it was something more than the one i get at the moment, just because it was a real full Gemballa with a different engine noise.
selling it ? i hope i will never have to do this
instead of that i can see if someone can make a plan of it so that you can submit it to some professionals in your area ?

it's night over here
Here are some i found on my server
I was wondering maybe in Canada or U.S. you may find those parts more easely ?
try to have a look on seek engines ? with gemballa+944 keywords maybe will you have more luck than me.
Anyway i will try to get really plans of it. I don't know how but i will try to get in contact with mechanics consultants able to do this

That is a very nicely done car. The paint on the car and kit looks perfect from what I can tell, very nice color. As rich said, that has to be one of the nicests 944n/a kits I have ever seen. And more pictures!!!
