don't the headlights aim too far up??

Perry 951

They are 993 headlights (or the 993 style at least) with projector lenses that shine forward, not up.

no

no....
the main issue with the 993 headlight conversion, is that they are not at the same angle as the 993 and thus POINT TOO FAR UP.

They sure do. I need to fix it, not sure how I'm going to yet.

Very cool work. I love that type of wide body where you hack up the fender and basically stretch he stock body lines.

I wasn't happy with the driver's side. I did it over differently. I went with a completely different method on the pass side. It was never going to be a show car. Thankfully you can't see both sides at the same time. It looks bad on the driver's side but there will only be a 1/16" of filler. I'm really happy with how the passenger side is coming out. The car looks wild with 295/30s/18s on the front.

Passenger side was both easier and had a better result. They'll match more or less and look the same when done but the passenger side will require less effort.

Very cool. Should look amazing when they're all smoothed out. I'll never do anything like this to my 951, but my 914 will get welded on GT flares, so I will have my own welding adventures coming up. Keep the updates coming!

I love to see your lines of effort, this is a super project

It's coming along. The rear is more difficult than the front with the inner structure. It'll be roughly 3 inches wider.

James G.

time for the inner structure.

I'm getting there. The bumper covers are just slapped on to see if I'm in trouble. Nothing that can't be adjusted. So here it is, a 968 with 11s front, 12s rear. 295/315 under steel. I don't know how wide a stock 968 is but this is 72".
