Default some pictures

Hi all,

as some of you wanted to see some pictures (over here) about my projects I uploaded some of the different cars I got in the past and now...

repair of a burned convertible with only 55.000km:







rebuild of a flood victim - 1991 turbo:







951 engine, transmission and brakes into a 924S:










build of a 968TS replika:











new 944-1





1977 924 with 3l 16V







one thing I reproduced in the beginning of this year as it isn't available from Porsche:

Great stuff. Wow the power to weight ratio on those 924 conversions must make them very lively to drive!
Are there any major issues with fitting the different engines and drivelines into the 924 chassis?

Those 924t nose vents are rare as hen's teeth. I'm sure some people would like to buy some and also sure that this would not put anyone's nose out of joint as there is nobody else making them, so no threat to any vendors.

KW suspension too. Guess it's not too expensive in Germany.

the 924 was a 924S - so it's easier to do the conversion, major things are the IC upgrade as you have to cut out much and some wiring to make it run. Driveline, brakes and so on are plug&play... I also upgraded the fuel- and brakelines to have it at the 951 standard. Best thing is to have a complete 951 with the narrow axles to have all parts available. Unfortunately the weight of the engine is immense so the complete weight without carpets, carbon fibre seats and without radio and any electrical devices is 1140kg (with just a little fuel in it). This is the reason for the 1977 924 that got some major benfits regarding the weight and about the rear axles that are not rubber but bolted directly and fix to the chassis. But getting it in is much more work than into a 924S regarding electrics and engine mounts.

that blue flood car is a gorgeous color! I don't think I've seen that on a 944!
