Ben. That looks fantastic. Let us know how it stands up to "street" use. The clear plastic sure would make mounting it easier when you can see when planning!
I did something similar to my "non P car" (280z) I went back even further. I took it all the way back to the tranny. It sure made a noticeable difference in highspeed stability and underhood temps.

Tub is toast, but already have a replacement tub lined up. Frankencar will live again.

well... I bought a 944 on Wednesday.
Didn`t pass the technical inspection right away (I have 30 days driving permit now and time to fix everything).
The same evening I removed taillights and wiped the water out of them :-D
Fastened battery bolts.
Today I got the driver`s seat moving, with a help of your forum
And recovered that the salon heating blows only hot air, can`t get any cool air out of it (any idea what`s the problem?).

Finally! My wheel adapters arrived yesturday from 944online.com (thanks guys!)
I couldn't wait for the weekend, so I pulled the Zed out of the garage so I could work on getting the old wheels off, adapters on, and new wheels on. Thank goodness for the torque wrench! So much easier and safer than guessing. It was a bit of a challenge doing the fronts, as I had to jam the hub from turning when torquing the wheel adapters. It all went smoothly. Took it out for a quick spin before it rained to try them out.
I would have put on 17's except that I had already purchased new 16" rubber to safety the car 2 months ago. Lessons learned I suppose.
