I am starting to feel like the 'anti Frank' - for every restored or new part he is putting on his car I am cutting off and throwing away on the current track car project!

Is the white plastic door liner from Porsche or did you make it yourself? I just pulled the plastic off of one of the project cars....it's in Ok shape but if the stuff is cheap to make or buy new I would prefer that options.

The white foil was bought at rosepassion.com. They do have after market parts for the 944, but I think this comes from Porsche. It came in a Porsche box and had the Porsche part number label on it. It is definately different than the old foil and I like it better than the old part. You can take the foil of and refit it quite easy.

Looks incredible, but did you know the interior door handle is upside down?

Great work!

Frank,

You do Amazing work. I am signing you up for the Porsche 944T recreation team.

Only downside to your superlative work is the world you will have to drive the car. I cringe every time I park my repainted 944s, both of them, and the 911, waiting for some kid to slam his door into my paint. And do not even consider track time.

When each of us considers a project, in our mind we see your outcome level of result.
Alan

Thank you Alan! Very nice words. And yes, it will be nerve wracking when the car will be on the road. "Luckily" it will take some time to finish the car.

"We" have made some progress. The carpet is in as well as the dashboard. I will have to drill a hole between the license plate lights. I have decided to place a backup camera. The wiring for the camera is in.
