I've owned it for 6 years, and I'm finally ready to let it go. It's in great shape, with the only issues being cosmetic. Mechanically, I've replaced almost all wearable parts. It has new carpet (with dynamat underneath), a new dash, and was repainted right before I bought it. I have a thick folder of receipts of work the previous owner and I have had done. The previous owner had the conversion done by Gokey in FL, and I've fixed up or redone pretty much everything since I've owned it.
It's a blast to drive and I only drive it when there's no hint of rain. It's always garaged, even at work. It has no dents, dings, or rust, but it does have a ~3" scratch on the driver's rear quarter and rock chips.
It also has:
- KW v3 coilovers
- Dynatech strut brace.
- Volk TE-37 wheels, 18x8 front, 18x10 rear.
- ABSpowerbrake electric power brakes
- Weltmeister short shift kit.
- Turn One PS pump.
- Turbo trans with LSD and NA 5th.
- PS, PB, Cruise and AC.
- 8 way power seats.
- Momo steering wheel.
- Rear seat delete.
- Sunroof was converted from power to manual.
- Custom fit car cover
The odometer hasn't worked since I've had the car, so I can't honestly say how many miles it has. I've tracked my mileage using my GPS and I've put less than 20K miles on it. The odometer says 135K and the engine had 30K when it was put in.
I have a lot of parts for the car, some new, some removed during the conversion. Mostly interior parts, including 10 speaker door panels and weather stripping. I also think I have a new high flow cat. I have the bat wing, but it is not currently installed on the car.
The car is in Northern VA and has a fresh inspection.
Here's a link to more pictures and I can take more specific ones upon request.

This is a steal! You guys need to look into how much just the motor and swap specific parts cost and you'll see this car is a great buy.
I love my LS converted 951, it handles the power/torque without a problem and the chassis is just as balanced as stock as the motor doesn't add any weight.

It doesn't have ABS. Boxster based ABS and bigger brakes were my next goals, but I don't think I'm going to get to them. I'd have to check on bushings, but if they were replaced it was with stock ones.
Yes, the AC works well. No dash cracks or warping. The dash looks great, and I'm pretty sure the previous owner replaced it.
Here's a quick picture I took of the scratch. I'll try to take a better one later.

Car sold today at the local Cars and Coffee. It got a great reaction there.
