Hey Alex,
"As one of my professors put it, fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."
Your professor must be of my generation and a hippie/anti-war protestor. That's a line from "Hair" an anti-Viet-Nam war play from the late '60's. First nudity on Broadway and the line is actually:
"Fighting for peace is like f**king for chastity!"
I know, off-topic

Wow, those wheels look cool. Kind of like the old Boxster wheels...but cooler. And personally...i think that color is gonna make that car! By the way, is it a metallic of pearl color? Or is it solid orange?

That is awesome, I applaud the ammount of work you have done!! Did you do all the fiberglass work yourself? if so I want to learn from you. I'm sure alot of people can learn alot from the process you have gone through creating this car, including me! Its not what I would do to my car, but I respect it, and I like it. Very different, very cool! good work, lets see some pics in the sunlight!

How did you get the dual exhaust to work? Isn't the gas tank in the way? If you get a chance to take pictures of the exhaust underneath the car I'd love to see them.

Nice work!!!! I am a big fan of the original 944 look, but I would rather see a dying car one saved and modified like yours, than tossed to the junk heap or burned on the track....Just personal opinion, I would have gone with a different look for the front end instead of the 300ZX.....but just my opinion....LOVE THAT COLOR!!!!!!! and the taillights......
Don't forget that the world would be a very boring place if everyone were exactly the same... and thought the same...and drove the same...

Unbelievable work! I think it is pretty damn sick! I LOVE everything...minus the rear hatch. The headlights look great, and the tailights...fugetaboutit! The color is great! That car is seriously SICK! If you ever have second thoughts, I'm sure I can find a 951 to trade you...ha ha!

European tax laws often justify these projects. Others just like the challenge of accomplishing what others could not imagine. Changing out an early dash for the late makes you unique…who else has been able to accomplish this often tried feat?
The updated rear lights and bumper cover are beautiful.
It’s human nature to be afraid of those that don’t look like us. In this case, the “headlights are from a Nissan 300ZX”. Some gasped. Understandable, we are still evolving.
But maybe this is an opportunity for these folks to show us examples of their original designs and bodywork talents?

I would like to see what the color looks like in the daylight - the amount of orange in the color seems to change in the pictures.
Probably the best-done headlight conversion yet.
Did you get any spares of the taillights just in case you needed them one day? Are they LED taillights, or normal incandescent bulbs?

I have been a fan of "custom cars" since being a child. Then I discovered sports cars. I am a big fan of keeping my Porsche original. But I admire your work. An artist at work? Keep us posted.
