Whether you like the car or not I think some of the comments here are kind of rude considering that someone put a lot of work in this car. I do like the rear hatch. I wonder if it is lighter than the factory glass.

Check out http://www.gt-racing.com/

Stock backwindow 55lb - GT hatch 19lb
And I think you can use the rear hatch seal so its 100% water tight when u close it.

IIRC, there were 2 versions of the hatch that Ernie posted above, the original Strosek and a version by Jacquemond from France. The Jacquemond rear hatch sold for 1800 US, the cost of a widebody kit by GT. Notice the rear bumper version and the extra wide rear flares... Not a bad look at all. Good finish, no drywall screws... And several pounds lighter than stock.

the only thing really really funny on the car is the half steering wheel. ive never seen anything like this before. which is what made me laugh and hope everyone had a good laugh too !!


EDIT: also, the car has pictures featuring two different plates so im not sure which car is the latest one. that probably has nothing to do with the car selling, but still something weird imo.

Agreed... but your supposed to cut the bottom off, not the top. sheesh.
My leg keeps hitting mine when I heel-toe shift.

I 2nd the idea that there was once a Club attached to that wheel.

Ha, yes. The diction throughout that listing remotely resembles English at a wild guess. It's so funny from start to finish. I just feel like lying down and giving up looking and reading those questions.

$6k+??? wtf...Is it April the 1st??

Some parts are orignal style Strosek ones, but some are not. From that car on ebay you can see from where shape to A.I.R and many other front spiltters came from. Strosek also made not so wild parts for 944's

Here's Strosek sideskirts



My Strosek clone skirts




Strosek skirts installed to Markus' ex. 951. I made for Markus that Strosek style front splitter.

I personally dont like the looks of that car but it is a matter of personal taste. That car is a "modification time capsule". There were modded 944 cars like that all over the place in the 80's and early 90's.

Shame on you guys if any of you were the ones that wrote some of the comments on the guys ebay listing. Some of those were downright rude and just immature.

Here's some pics of a car that the guy spent a lot more time and money on. Again not to everyone's taste but you have to admire the workmanship.
