On that car, you can add an R at the end and still won't be a poser. What an incredible machine! I wish I never took a ride in it

What is it? A normal C2? Car looks bad ***.

I have the front hood support, as well. It was less $$ than new shocks, fyi.

Anybody have a DIY on the hood support? I'd be interested in trying it out, my front hood shocks are shot.

That looks amazing! Blue mirrors? Did you change the wheels for blue? How about some updated photos of how the car looks today. That has been a great transformation!!

FYI - For those thinking about hood support. There is also another alternative. Pelican has a hood prop in Carbon Fiber. I got one for my RSR project.

Sweet. I had read that thread. The irony of one calling their own car a poser was lost on my last night. oops.

Car sounds amazing!

The stock steel hood is heavy and I don't think I would try to use the 964RS factory hood prop rod (designed for an aluminum hood) on a steel hood. They work well for the fibreglass and CF hoods like Mark has on his car though.

I'm digging the car and the Ducati in the background.
What about the fuel jugs of 110 leaded fuel for his Turbo?

If you ever get to meet Mark and his family, they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
