Well it did take long for me to want to replace my damaged 968 turbo(I started looking about 48 after the wreck). I bought another white/blue int 1993 968. I will begin swapping and transfering parts as soon as the insurance matters are settled. I also have to await the replacement transport from CA to MI
I will update as the project developes.
Thanks again to all you fellow 968 enthusiast whom I have gotten so much support from
Miles

Is that a real CS?

Miles968

No it's not a real CS
the only modifications on this car are the CS stickers,red wipers,and wheels. All of which will be removed and those wheels used for the track only

I am thrilled to see that you are already on your way to a new and better 968. Congrats!

The only way I could get thru this ordeal without crying was to look at it like I had bought an ice cream cone. As I turned away from the counter, I tripped over a crack in the cement causing me to drop the ice cream cone in the dirt. So instead moaning and whaling, i just turned around and went back to the counter to buy another ice cream cone. Thank goodness that the insurance reimbursement allowed me to do this with little out of pocket expense.

The gist of my accident is that while participating in a DE, I was taking a left corner at approx 50mph in 3rd. The instructor told me to give it a little gas coming out of the turn. I did and the tires began to spin. My car had a crazy amount of torque, I fish tailed with the front going left and the rear going right. I tried to correct by turning slightly right then the car started spinning to the right and came to rest against a cement retaining wall.

I am glad to hear you had insurance coverage. From riding in DeGrunchys car I am sure yours was amazing and the next will be even more amazing.

Hey Miles, are you keeping the engine from the 968 Turbo and putting it into the new 968?

Miles968

Yes, I bought the car back from the insurance company. I am planning on transplanting the engine,trans, suspension, brakes, interior parts, stereo etc............................I should have my turbo up and running by next spring 2007 .

Excellent Miles!

The red & orange "Amy" car in my avatar was once my black '93 968 track car. After the wreck at LRP, I purchased a chassis from G.A.D. The engine, drive train and most of the suspension pieces were transplanted and . . . "it's alive"! (and racing).

Good luck. You will love the new car after you're done every bit as much as you loved the 1st one. Remember to post pix as you get into the project.

All the best!

I am dying waiting for the shipment of my "new" 968

Miles: my question is who is the great insurance company you worked wit?
