Default Modern-Retro 944 roadster

Take a look at this beauty http://www.heynsdyk.com/index.aspx .I think it looks great and with only 900kg should be pretty nimble.Too bad that the interior didn't get any real work but who cares we can DIY that.In fact the whole car comes either as a finished product or a kit car.Only problem i see is the price way too much for some body panels .For now i have a new desktop background and a dream...

Warning: Don't drool on the keyboard!

That's a lot of time invested, there. It would have taken an hour just to park it sideways in the spray booth!

I think it could do with fewer details, on the whole, but that is really impressive. Nice colour, too.

^^same thought....at first i was thinking, wow this is gorgeous, then i started thinking....wellllll it doesn't really look anything like what it started out as, which was probably the point...but the point is lost on me...why would you make a 944 look like a z3? don't get me wrong, the car is absolutely gorgeous and very well done, but not my cup of tea...

interesting... and very pretty from the windshield on back... the details of this car appear quite, well, "busy." can't it get a Porsche badge on the front ? no, i guess not. umm. price: oh dear. if i got a perfect running 944 and damaged up body, (i'll still pass).
