Well this started as a 87 924s And now it has a full GT racing 944(wide) Body kit. It is about 2" Wider than the 944... Running 18x8s With Brand new rubber.
I got the car free with a ton of parts...... The rear wing is off the car in this pic but it is also a GT racing fiberglass wing...

That's gonna look really good when finished. I'm kinda liking the 'no rear spoiler' look.
Are those Dan87951's old Moda wheels?

Not sure where the rims came from. I think he bought them new. And I will be adding a spoiler. I will get some pics of that tonight. I am thinking of going Bright Yellow with the paint. To make her stand out but I am not sure yet. The car also came with Leather racing seats and the original 15" PD's so if anyone needs some dials let me know. They have good rubber on them as well. and I have the original seats with one small hole in one of them.

Another question for you guys. I want to upgrade the brakes to 951 calipers. Besides the rotors what else needs to be replaced?

Do a search for posts by 'Tifosiman'. He has a well documented parts list for the swap.

track or street?

what did the PO use to get the wheels out to the fenders? In that a 924S has early off-set suspension unless he changed it to late off-set those have to be some monster spacers with a wide body kit.

The front wheels look fine but I will have to use spacers on the rear unless you guys have a better idea?

LOL PO is moving, gave up on the project, offered the car and all parts to anyone willing to drag it out of his work shop... So before he had time to start getting offers on parts I jumped all over it. I am looking for some 951 calipers now.
