Like whoa...found Raj's car on the web

I've gone through hundreds of websites gathering info on the 968 Turbo S for a while [in many different languages, too] and someone's site had these old images of Raj's car next to their Turbo S specs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I know, I ran across it too somegtime back and laughed. I would think doing a search on 968 turbo S would not yield my car but it did.
Hopefully, it will look much better soon. The paint is complete and now they are putting it back together. I plan on building a website soon as it only makes sense to document teh car properly.

No way, that shot is too blurry...this one's much better:

<img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/968_turbo_s.jpg" alt=" - " />

Does anyone know the VIN # of this yellow car? I have literally a dozen different images of it plus some articles and I don't know the VIN.

I've got all the MY 1994 cars accounted for so this must be a 1993.

I've also got info on two French Turbo S 968's [midnight blue and guards red] but don't know the VIN #'s for those either.

Some day I'll track them all down...

It's got a Canadian plate in the picture of the rear.

The car did get painted yesterday and they are finishing all the plastics today. Being a long weekend, I will be looking at it for the first time on saturday.
I am kinda bummed out about the stock nose opening with the new bumper cover but I have a mold being shipped to me and will have it done soon.
Next would be a rear bumperette delete setup. I figured all one needs to do is get a couple of flat pieces of polyeurathane and cut them as close to stock opening and then fuse them in and paint the whole bumper. I will try that in the next few months.
Lastly, ofcourse the speedlines and then from the outside, the car should look exactly like a turbo S.
Internally it will have the heart of a 968 turbo RS and transmission is still up in the air, if it will be a turbo S, turbo RS or stock.
That yellow car is my favorite of all of them. If I ever hit the lottery, I will go looking for it with a blank check

Who is the guy getting all that info? Is he on a pilgrimage to track down all the cars???

That's what I wanted to do!

That's a great page, and thanks for telling me it had been updated.
