LOL -- seems like a steal -- but wait until you see the shipping charges calculated at *810kg* from Switzerland!

I just had a look at the checkout calculation for shipping to Australia -- EUR2280.77!

For a grand total of EUR2230.77 (~AUD3084 at today's exchange rate). Better grab one before they notice their mistake!

The 968 thing it's listed as an 20kg shipping package with a price of 790 euros. So maybe the real values for a 944 are 20kg and 810 euros.

You've nailed it. In fact, the site is now showing exactly those prices. That was quick.

That's an interesting detail on the rear of the rocker panels... little vents. Do they actually do anything, or just styling?

Hi Mark

The rockers are actually Strosek replica. They could be made to cool the rear discs but would mean a lot of bodywork and to be honest for very little/or no gain as air flow down there is very restricted. These rockers do look best with the vents filled in as per below (just my opinion ):

Looks great! But it looks like the tires are too small diameter-wise.
Edit: Sorry.. it looks much much better than great, it looks super

^ Hi Duke ... yep the cars an 85 so early offset

In Switzerland spacers can't be used for stupid legal reasons but the car is now fully upgraded with MO30 Turbo S spec and the 17" (pictured) have gone for the white hollow spoke 18" he had fitted to his matt black project below. Sorry only pic I have on my PC of the wheels:



To complicate further my wheels below will go on the matt black project above once I finish the 993 project below:



Best regards,
Mark

I like those rocker panels. How do they attach to the car?
