928MS Stage 2 SC with Euro Intake legs



Shift **** gives you a hint to the Z06 6-speed underneath




18x8 & 18x10 wheels



H4 HID lights, clear front lenses & smoke side markers



1000 Watt Amp is installed in what looks like a Rear AC console. Sharkwoofer in trunk.



997 GT3 seats



928MS Stainless Y-pipe feeding Borla exhaust. Fenders hold 295 rear rubber.

Very nice pics!


I love the back end...especially the 928...Spyder.


That is one good looking car.


Well done!

Not mine. I would love to have it though. I would fill the fender wells with more meat, put a nice spoiler on the rear and paint it black. It was at a shop in Covington, LA. Not sure if the owner is a Rennlister. It caught my eye so I turned around and inquired about it. It's an 87. I do not have any other pics. I overstepped my bounds by taking these.

Rich, nice - looks like it's coming along. I originally thought our cars were done by the same coachbuilder, but am now seeing quite a few differences in these photos, like the cut of the top, the A-pillar treatment, the way the top attaches to the windshield header, etc. I haven't been able to determine who did my conversion either, but a clue might be how the chassis reinforcement was done between our 2 cars as well.. What's visible from inside the tub on mine looks like this when I had it apart for painting, Dynamat-ing, and wiring.

Thx Petza914 and yes, that's exactly how ours looks under the carpet! We are getting closer...

I have gathered many new and good used parts for the cab but just don't have time enough to work on our own cars. Will try to get it going soon. Ours is build on a 1980 automatic.
To do:
Upgrade brakes and suspension to S4 and Koni red
S4 autobox
Finish interior, new dash, pod, center console..
install appropriate exterior mirrors
new aluminum deck lid
3-piece 18" phone dials
new paint
Borla muffler
and not sure about an SC kit but got one laying around

That one looks like it may be a Carelli since it has the hard tonneau cover over the back (loss of rear seats) and the glass A-pillar triangle windows.
