Who's building a 3.0+ turbo engine to run it at low boost...

Headlights will be one of 2 styles, 993 or in fender mounted with lexan covers, will have 968 flares and a darker color change. New uncracked dash will be installed, manual rack and a bunch of other diets to shed weight but keep factory interior look. This car will be a street car, any ideas and opinions are very welcomed, but please just remember this car will, in the end, be built to my taste, since of course, it's my money Here are some before pics, I will post during pics, and before too long the final pics, Also included is a newly installed gift I bought myself because as of last week, I dropped my last drivetrain from a porsche of the ground on my back .

Running more boost then you plan. Seriously though 18 psi at it and drive it all day!

Most of it's apart, dash came out with no problems. Ive taken over a dozen 944s apart and I have never seen as much glue on the interior carpets as on this one, I think someone spilled the bucket in there. Along with the tear down I found about 14 bucks in change, and a half roll of duck tape under the seat, which had me worried at first but all was good. I will have some parts from this that I won't be using that will be for sale if anyone needs anything just ask

My 92 got the same glue treatment, it's been a total PITA to strip it all! I'm stripping the whole thing clean to paint it and regretting that decision more and more.

Are you going to reuse the door panels? I could use a set of 968 door panels.

Parted out the silver 968 after finding a better candidate. A black 92 6 speed.
Tonight I finally got a chance to put some time in so I removed the roof skin
