Hopefully nothing!

Looks like it is a beautiful original car with the wild Pascha interior, for some the holy grail of interiors for this vintage Porsche.

If Mr. Walker feels the need to modify, he should get a lesser example and have at it.

I completely understand modifying cars, but wish people would choose cars that are not all original models in great shape to modify.

Just saw a show where a complete original 1968 (?) Mustang fastback in fantastic shape was modified to make a Steve McQueen "Bullit" Mustang replica. Thought they should have started with a lesser Mustang in poor shape since the whole car was torn down and rebuilt.

YMMV,

Tried to post this on his comments, some registration is needed so I'll post here instead:

Watch the factory films of these being thrown through corners at incredible lean angles and then go do the same! I do it with my early '44, good stuff!

I seems as if the 931 is now on the radar of some collectors. Porsche Classic has recently started including it in a lot of stuff on their website.

With the 911 market on fire maybe other Porsche models are getting a second look.

931's have been on fire in Germany for a few years now, not surprised it spread a little...

Yep, all of the North American 924's and 931's got the ugly US bumpers (just like the 944's) with the addition of the "zits" or round side markers.

The European cars were so much more clean and pure from a design standpoint with the sleeker bumpers and lack of round side markers.
