Default Swedish race-944 with air cooled boxer
I know Sweanders posted a pic of the same car while it was being built, thought I'd post some pics of the car up and running!

(I don't know the owner nor take these pictures so I don't know anymore than just looking at the pictures)

Pretty interesting project!
It runs in an endurance race series.

That's really strange. Is it a real Porsche now?

Sandén did not build this car.

Fair enough. I'm sure I saw a very similar looking body outside his shop about a year ago.

AFAIK it was mainly build by another person, but I'm sure Mr Sandén has put his hand on this car one way or the other
But as I said, I don't have first hand information.

Pretty impressive conversion, and if it can handle an endurance race it's probably well build as well!

What's the big square thing underneath it, a transmogrifier or something?

It looks like a venturi tunnel, interesting that it is only being used on the right side of the car.

I would love to drive a 944 with a 3,6 liter engine and low center of gravity like that!
