Love it !
Like Jeff, I am not sure about the wheel centres. I think satin black would look better but otherwise it all looks great. The tint, and smoked side markers all work really well with that colour. If it was me I'd be hoping it's one of those fluro greens and is super loud but you can't seem to photograh that colour like it looks to the eye

Totally, you won't have much competition with that color! What's the inside black? The wheels are super

Took delivery of the 2 cars yesterday evening! The green car is definitely not quite as bright as the original two pictures made it appear. It is however a super LIME type of green... here's the best I could do with a junky camera...



The front valence is missing the lower section. I might have to fab up something and try to paint match it to the green... It looks so dumb with that section gone!






Motor is relatively complete. Air box and a few pieces were in the trunk.


Alright so here is where you can get your laughs in... Notice the fancy steering wheel and ebrake handle of course... those will get replaced right away. The seats are like a brown corduroy material, but actually in FANTASTIC condition! And the most badass part of the interior, is the nearly brand new floor mats with the lime green PORSCHE embroidery! I thought that was pretty sweet. Another thing to note is the white number 924S gauges, which look much better than the yellow number gauges.
Looks like a halloween ride inside the car.

I LOVE it! That steering wheel has to go.

I still say paint the Fuchs original black inside...

Great buy, I am truly jealous.

And here is the LOVELY extra car that came with the deal. I was told it would be an 84 but it's actually an 87 924S. It had a severe engine fire and the whole car is basically trashed. But there's a handful of decent parts still laying around inside the car. I'll probably have this one scrapped in record time!

That's one crazy color. I don't think you'll have to worry about being mistaken for anyone else. Enjoy.

Decided to swap the flat tires out on the 924S with some good rollers. And in the meantime I saw a couple things that grasped my attention...

Has anyone seen rear shocks for a 944 that look like this? Who made these? I haven't traced the hose yet back to wherever it goes, but I'm eager to find out.


And, since the transaxle had been out for so long apparently, some "mud dauber" developers decided to build a few condos on the bellhousing. What's funny is seeing them in orange since I now live in the state of Georgia where orange clay exists everywhere. Back in Florida the mud dauber homes would be made of black dirt, and that's what I'm so used to seeing. Check it out!

The interior is SO SICK!!! Hahahahahaha

I'd leave the fuchs green and keep the interior same minus the steering wheel.

I have a Momo steering wheel that I'll probably eventually swap in. And I may try to find some black door panels, and a few other black interior bits that will help the black/green look.

I'm sorry, I've got to express the following:

Best steering wheel ever.

Looks like it, but I don't know for sure yet ... I'll post up once I figure them out. I've never seen them on a 944/924 so I am a bit... "shocked" ... lol.
