I actually recently bought the car from the Rennlister who bought it from Chris. It is going to be returned to a being a racecar and I thought it would be neat to return it back to the original Technodyne livery. So I need to get some good photos so that I can have the graphics recreated.

Silly question, but I assume that you've contacted Chris directly and he doesn't have what you need?

Skip Wolfe

I didn't have his email so I sent him a PM earlier and also hoped he would see these threads and chime in. He just posted this morning on the x-post I had on the 951 board so hopefully I should be able to get some stuff from him. I have a million questions for him and feel bad bombarding him with them.

Thanks for the enthusiastic support Joe. I wish I could afford to duplicate the original suspension and drivetrain but that is just a wee bit over my budget. Should be an interesting project to say the least.

Hmm you could in fact attept to duplicate stuff at particular point in time.

I know chris evolved the car over many years from normal 86 turbo into the last iteration before he sold it. You could try to recreate it at a more simple prep level and period visual look too.

Maybe just at the time he went widebody on the car.

That is the thing about "restoring" a race car with a long life. What vinage or prep level do you restore to?

Skip Wolfe

That is pretty much what I am going to do. The suspension will be reasonable setup with all the usually 944 race goodied - Charlie arms, Tarett sways, and hopefully Ledas. The drivetrain will be closer to stock with a stock bottom end an a K27/6 connected to a stock LSD 951 tranny. I figure the first step is to get it back on the track, and then as you suggested, it will evolve over time.
