Default 928 Cab

Does the Cab retain its normal back seat or is this where the top folds to. Please send me addt'l photos to petza914@gmail.com. Also, will the car be sold finished or still as a project? Thanks.

It retains the back seats. It really is not much of a project anymore. I figure a good weekend to complete. Will take some current pics and send them.

Just stumbled across this thread again. To close out the thread and finish the story....

...as many of you know, I ended up purchasing this car from Doug back in 2014. I shipped it straight to Carl at 928 Motorsports for a Stage 2 Supercharger and a bunch of other mechanical, maintenance, and performance updates (like GTS brakes with slotted rotors, upper and lower cross-braces) and eventually his Corvette Z06 6-speed conversion (done the following year). Once Carl was done with it, I brought it to SC where I did all the interior and electrics work (sound deadening, power door locks, stereo, leather bits from Classic 9, etc).

Finished product looks like this and will be at SITM again this weekend.

I can attest to how good the fit and finish is on his mods. The devil is in the details!
