Great thread. Threads like this keep me inspired to work on the car over the winter.
I like the cars that have had a personal touch added to them. While stock, unmolested cars like Cory's are a thing of beauty to behold, I am a tinkerer at heart.
Pete's car get's my vote for "most improved" (His "before" shots really don't reveal what the car looked like after he got back from picking it up in Colorado).
My car is constantly evolving, I doubt it will ever be "finished", there is always something to do.
When I picked it up in Northern Ohio almost 4 years ago:
And as it apears today:

The rest of us might see something close to a twin at a show someday, I don't think you have that problem. I really like those dark (gunmetal?) wheels, If I do my rims on my Glacier Girl I'm going to give a hard look at something similar.
yes that's true, I never seen a 944 that looks nearly the same as mine.
I repainted the wheels with a titanium gray color, which probably is the same as gunmetal.

Hmm, I don't have any recent interior or engine bay shots... I think that's an exuse for a Sunday drive and a photoshoot session
EDIT: Here you go... Kinda messy, it's not freshly waxed/vacuumed.

Oh yeah, Pete, you might have to send me the info on the paint and technique you used for your engine! Im still half and half on doing it this winter, but that was almost identical to what i was thinking of doing! I was thinking a lighter silver to match the intake though, and some blue close enough to my body. How did you do the screw heads?

Tony, I stripped the old paint off the valve cover with some nasty stuff from Lowe's. The silver paint was a high heat engine paint by Duplicolor I think. I did the lettering with a brush. I sprayed the bolt heads with the blue and the bolt washers with black.
It came out ok but I'm going to redo it this winter along with the intake, afm, and some of the other parts.
