Default Transformed the 968 - pics
Since I picked this car up Saturday the 2nd I've been spending some time on it.

-New front grill
-New door handle seals
-New antenna
-Replaced shifter boot with good used one
-Replaced dash trim about clock with good used one
-New hood shocks
-New iphone/ipod radio connection
-Replaced rear brake pads and rotors

And installed some goodies I had on hand
-Fikse FM5 wheels - 8s and 10s with 265s in the rear
-Big Red brakes calipers up front on adapters with two piece cross drilled rotors
-Bilstein coilovers all the way around with camber plates up front
-Solid torsion housing carrier mounts
-Solid torsion housing upper mounts
-Re-indexed torsion bars
-22mm Weltmeister rear sway bar

Still to come is a batwing and all new ground effects gaskets. Also looking for an upper section for the driver's seat. I need to replace the rock guards too.

Looks great. I guess my car last looked that good in 1999 or so.
