Cool My dirty secret

I confess! The real reason I was looking into mud flaps, and why my '84 hasn't been seen for a while, is that it was getting some extensive suspension mods. Since Cayennes are so expensive, this seemed like the most reasonable way to compromise between street and off-road performance. Sorry purists!

Looks WAY better than a Cayenne... Great job!

Now get those mud flaps, front and rear! "Heavy duty" industrial strength, of course...

There is a company in Sweden that sells car stereo equipment and they have a 928 on a 4X4-chassie as a promo car. They also have a couple of Lamborghinis..

Very cool.
I was at a stoplight in Los Gatos one time, when a Mercedes 220 pulled up next to me completely decked in 4x4. I was in heaven.
I don't think it's been done to a Viper, yet.

Harvey, I think he's fibbing. If not, it better be Dana 60.

You can see the roof line reflecting on the hatch. I don't see a roof in the desert. Otherwise very good job if not apocoliptic.

Jessa,
Now I see where you came up with that extra set of wheels for sale.
Looks like you got all the wax out of those cracks, creases and seal joints.
Beautiful color.
There was a Rolls several years ago entered in the Baja 400.
It had brush cutters, nerfs, and a roof rack with two spares.
It would look nice alongside yours.
With the heigth, as shown, wire re-enforced dump truck mud flaps are the way to go.

Ed,

well I'm curious whether it's a 928 body on a truck chassis or something like that....or an actual 928 that was heavily modified....

now if this is just a photoshop creation, I apologize for the stupid question. I have my days...and this may be one of them

Regards,
