As a "side project" changed belts to a 951 & 944. Quite hot work to do when it was about 30 celsius and even more in the direct sun light



My 968 turbo splitter mould is also ready. Just finished a splitter for a friend. Notice a old barbecue grill frame, which is very handy when you do some fibreglass work

Those are some high-tech tools.

I am surprised you didn’t fully strip down the window mechanism, rewind the wiring in the motors, replate all the parts, machine new custom delrin bushings and rollers and retension the spring mechanism. You guys are slipping a little bit!




Seriously – this is an impressive project, I am always happy when you post some new pictures!

Kicks *** looks great Carefull with the rear torsion bar setup and control arms they will be a little tight like mine were. Don't need to see the great powdercoating scratched up like some of mine did.

I was actually there 2 months ago! i missed out on seeing the gt3 rs 4.0. i've read about it and just sounds like a machine!!!

In the 3rd picture with the yellow CGT there was a red one next to it for sale for another 50k more then the yellow one.

Have about 150 more car oriented pictures from our vacation. Not many 944 models around there, saw just 4 of them. 3 951's and this totalled 944 in our "home village"
