I have never, and I mean never, seen a rear decklid wing mounted on bottom of a bumper before.

Some dreams ARE better forgotten.....

This guy obviously has no talents in either body work or lawn care.

There's got to be something worth $250 in there. I think. How much gas is in it?

Wait a minute - what car is that... is it really a 928 - or something else with a 928 rear end grafted on? The interior is totally different - how does a bench seat fit in the back ?

Ahh OK its a 944.... yikes!

It looks like his vision exceeded his skill set.

It is PROOF that at least one 944 owner really wanted a car that looked like a 928

^^^ looks like you already did it!

The cabrio "948" is horrid looking and if it was someone's dream, it was a drug induced one.

I love the roll bar - looks like it was made from an old garden lounger... great to have some protection for your head... but perhaps there wasn't much at stake!

I don't think Chip Foose would approve of this one!

The wheelbarrow in the background is probably what he used to mix the bondo in.

First, shouldn't that be a trailer in the background instead of an actual building?

Second, that is not a roll bar, it is what you duct tape the visqueen to when it rains.
