Thought I should finally post some pictures up of what will be my G class 944 turbo cup replica when complete. I currently run G class as a prepared car and run bigger brakes etc but the lure of 230 lbs is very appealing. so the journey begins.
My plan is to respray the interion and exterior and then install a
new cage
fiberglass hood and bumpers
new halo seat,
delete the sunroof
manual steering
new splitter
return to S4 brakes pads and rotors
a full mechanical maintenance inc
wheel bearings
repack axles
LSD repack
rebuild turbo
injector balance
spark plugs and wires
vacume lines
replace with a light battery
968 mirrors
new set of wheels
3 piece cross member
not much really.................... so here are some pictues of the journey so far

it may not look that bad but the transmission tunel was VERY bent as was th3e floor as was the roof. They could have pulled it but it would have been as expensive as a reshell (if not more0 and I would still have a bent repaired shell. Better just to get a good one and start again

Dan,
Good choice if you want to run the car in G. A progressed Turbo S will not (or should not) be able to keep up with a Cup/Escort car, even if the TS is running an S2 r/p. The weight is a big difference and the Escort chips make some extra power that a regular Turbo S shouldnt have.
You and Van working on doing this together? If not, may want to take a look at this - some notes from when I did the conversion:

I have probably posted most of these somewhere before, but in case you have not seen them (sorry if its repetitive).
I started with an 87T, so needed to add the M030 brakes, AOR transmission, ABS, K26/8, and the front frame rail gussets. Also scraped the undercoating off the bottom of the car by hand. My interior is really ugly under the carpet. I scraped and ground all the coatings off, but didnt clean or paint. So if PCA allows the interior to be removed, I have quite a bit of cleaning and painting to do.
I went a little further than the approved minimum PCA requirements for the converion. I used the Cup manual door mirrors, added the Cup type strut tower bar, had a replica of the factory Matter cage made, non-AC heater/vent control unit, non airbag dash, recessed hood latches, and a few other details that will go unnoticed by nearly all scrutineers.
