Talking 94 968 Redo

Ted Pao's 94 55,000 mi 968 just was dropped off from LA at the body shop this am. The for sale thread has pics. Any suggestions as the car gets redone that I should under take? The rear qrt will be replaced as a minimum possibly the fender and rear cover. The hood may need painted. Thoughts ?
Thanks,
Gregg

Get rid of that dog ugly rear spoiler and replace it with a 944 unit. I will take the dog off your hands and give you a few bucks for your hassles.

No other worthwhile ideas from me.

I'm glad to see this car is getting fixed up. Maybe delete the front and rear bumper pads?

Supremely jealous. Looks like a great project. Glad to see somebody investing a little $ to make it right.

IMO, the 968 only looks at its best when its been lowered a tad, with 18 inch wheels. The bumper pad delete is also a good idear.

Hilarious that you post that every time I show the wheels. No one else seems to care.

I'm a big fan of 17's on 968's. 18's look too pimp in my opinion. Damian's wheels look perfect on that car.

Now for 944's, I don't even like 17's so much. Some look good with them, but for some reason I think 16's look better, especially if they are a nice set of Fuchs.
