Default Gratuitous NA ****

Washed and waxed her today. Decided to snap a few.

Since I was...ahem... taking the day off, I also decided to install the (slightly) used Koni Yellow rear shocks I bought off fellow 'Lister. What a HUGE difference. The car had/has the original Boges (103,000 miles) and was squatting badly on acceleration, not to mention it now has a much flatter body in turns. Now if I ever get a rear sway bar (mine came without one) to go along with the 25.5mm front bar I also just bought from a fellow Rennlister and put new front Koni's on, I should really have her squared away.

Dan,
I'm sure you are now the envy of the neighborhood, good lookn' car.

I would like to help out in the rear sway department, and it will make a huge difference, but my old turbo bar is moving to my 83'. Like she can handle it ???

Nice,Car lookin good. I agree about the Koni's. I just put a used set I found at the junk yard for $3.50 ea. They were in good shape and WOW what a difference they make. I have the mounts links and studs for a rear sway bar if you need them. Drop me a PM if you find a bar and no mounts.

another inch of snow last night. the ground is so sauturated it's squishy.

I'd LOVE to wash my car , but there is no purpose. It would be filthy in an hour, and the locks may freeze.

As youre driving around with the roof off, think of us who havent seen the sky thru the car in months.

Looking very nice.

What a fine example of a late NA! I, for one, am glad you haven't done the snubnose mod yet. Looks like the cars I was drooling over in Car & Driver in high school. Nice work!

I agree Eric!! 944 w/ Phone Dials was THE car I wanted back in the late 80's! Never got one though. Maybe because I couldn't spend 2-years salary on a car back then!?

Dan - NICE!

Looks like a beautiful, un-molested NA. Great car.

The polished phone dials with the painted center caps are a nice touch.

Thanks for sharing!

If you do decide to go with a rear sway, I have a couple of extra 951 rear's from the parts cars.
