The paint is awesome!!! It needs complete interior (it has a good dash). Of course a 3.xL engine will be going in this fall.
Let us know if you need any help with turbo selection...

Scott, I already pulled the CarFax report.. the car was in 2 accidents, but neither was a "total loss". Looking at the car, the panels, frame,... nothing jumps out.. The paint is "SHOW" quality!!! I agree with Shaheed, it might be too nice for me, I'm nervous about scratching it.... A $5000+ paint job on a 951 is insane... The Hood & front bumper are FG, this is the FIRST fiberglass hood I have seen that looks as good or better than the metal ones...

Most of my cars end up as track cars. I guess this one will sit next to thr 930, another garage queen.

Now I'm looking for interior pieces. Tan carptet, black panels... So anyone got some, email me..
As far as engine, I'm thinking 2.8L, 3.0L or 3.1L.. Of course I will be searching for a turbo if anyone can recommend one LOL.

I purchased the 18" HighLine wheels the guy was advertising, they look very nice. I'm not sure if I'll use them or use the Sport Classic 2 set.

hehe i figured if you set that thing up with a 3L it's going to end up on the track sooner or later.
