Well, it's got "breaks" (sic) by "Porche" (sic). -oh, and the "Rotars" (sic) are drilled.

The Tires are "Parelli" (sic).

The digital dash is by "Dekota" (sic).

-That's an awful lot of "sic".

and the colour makes me "sic" too!

I dont think its that bad, put a turbo nose on, lower it a bit, ditch the side pipes and it would probably look pretty good

New paint, exhaust, and lower it a bit and it would be good to go.
Ok, the NOS bottle should go away too.

Actually that's what concerned me. I didn't see any change to the suspension mentioned? If that's all on stock suspension that is seriously scary!
... look at the upper strut bearings. They've done something.

The real offense is the paint. I'd rattle-can it flat black, drop the 4x4 rally suspension down to earth, ditch the side pipes and terrorize the ricers.

Exactly what I was thinking. The person built the car they wanted. Not necessarily what the fine folks of Rennlist deem "proper".

Again, not saying I like this car...but compare it to this x-post from the 911 board. You can't honestly say this 944 didn't recieve more love and attention than this abomination:

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/car/441104144.html

You just can't defend this car... the builder obviously had no taste, or more importantly skill!
Plust it was a 911 and all the guys that own those suck big time!

I agree with mike... If it had a different color and was lowered (this thing is 4x4'n it right now!) ... and no side pipes, it wouldn't be a bad car.

I agree Rob and they look actually like a good finish judging by the pics. Needs lowering though.

Default Did you blend the custom rocker panels into the body?

Just noticed that we have the same rockers

It's not a bad car.

The side pipes have to go. The suspension needs to be dropped. And a few other things... But ... it's got a V8 installed. It's probably very fast.

It's clear from the pics that a lot of time and money were invested. And while not my particular style... it's got definite potential.
