yup took about an hour

I was kidding - if I could do a search on my first 50 threads I can only imagine what I was asking.

Yea, I was considering the Fiberglass aftermarket bumper from Fiberwerks for a while, but safety is a big factor, and the fiberglass isn't the best for that.

I'm pretty sure I am goin to install a Turbo bumper for saftey issues as well as looks.

As far as the fenders, I'm sure I can learn how to shape them to fit the turbo front end without having to buy turbo fenders

Thanks for the good info

Weltweite

Wow, that looks like it fits perfectly!

Did you alter the fenders to fit the new Nose?

Weltweite

Haha, give me 6 months

i volunteer to keep track of the "turbo nose" and "turbo my n/a" threads. pete has to knight me first.

so far this month there's been two including this one...also in my search i found a 944 coupe to cab conversion

Friendan

I did this conversion with my buddy on his dad's 87 NA. You need:
951 fenders
951 nose
951 header panel
951 Aluminum Inner bumper
951 Bumper shocks
951 Turn Signals
951 Fogs
951 Sidemarkers (though they look really similar to the NA ones?)
951 Underbody Skid pad thing, or "Batwing"
951 Headlight Panels
And you have to rework the wiring for the lights.

There are just fiberglass 951 front end "lookalikes", Though I've heard they're not as good. xboost what is that on the front of your car?
Took us about two evenings, but you could do it in an afternoon.

I did it to mine. You need to alter the front fenders, all I replaced was the Nose panel. The light covers were NOT replaced and it looks fine.

sidemarkers are the same...the light covers are slightly longer. The shocks and inner bumper reinforcement are different. The nose is different. I held the nose up to the fenders after putting on the inner bumper and marked where i needed to do work to the fender. I cut a notch on the lip of the fender at each side of the mark and then unfolded the lip in between the marks. Then i folded on the line of the mark and took a hammer and dolly to smooth it out and blend it into the rest of the fenders shape. I took a grinder and smoothed out the sharp fold edges into the fender and fit the bumper again. ITs important to fit the bumper after each session of bending or folding to check your shape and fit.

Why not be original and get a Euro NA bumper? That's a nice conversion!

and here you can see what has to be removed.

What exactly is the difference between a turbo nosepanel and an n/a nosepanel? Do the n/a bumper shocks work with the aluminum inner bumper?

Weltweite

Great info.

Confused about the Light covers though, some of you said it didnt need to be replaced, and others said it did?

Graufuchs

NO.....the gaps arent that noticable in my mind.

MINE WITH NA COVERS, not worth it.
