Yes, thats how it looked last year. I bought the car all white. It was painted white in 1988 but was delivered new in white/red back in 1980

Just been out cleaning and fettling again today. Doors now have new polythene membrane fitted to protect the lovely Porsche script door cards. Door mirrors are now rewired so now work again along with the electric windows. The speedo cable snapped on Thursday so I have now removed the old cable and awaiting the new one.

Finished fitting the 944 rear seat. Looks very Club Sport. Need to source some blanking plugs for the rear seatbelt holes. Flash makes the differing black carpet look more prominent than it is.



Here's the rear cage in place with harnesses



Here's the front end all finished with fresh 'turbo' decals. Stereo has been completely removed and blanking plate in place in the console.



Just a few more new finishing parts arriving next week to fit and it should all be done for the time being. Then I need to start again with some work to the forever reoccurring blowing exhaust and fitting the intercooler and associated pipework. Likely to be later this Summer.

the turbo looks really nice.

how do you mount that intercooler and where?
is it a front mount?

I have installed a 944 turbo front end to the 924 to give enough room for the intercooler up front. Here's a pic during the rebuild, i haven't taken another since I finished

i`am interested in the pictures how its looks with the 944 front.

Everything you see in the pic painted silver is the 944 front welded on to my car. As you can see from this photo the front cross member is lower than a 924 one. This gives you the increased space to fit a 944 turbo intercooler.

(ignore the rusty wings. They were binned for new wings. the badge panel is now a bolt on version for access to the intercooler)

Job done, 7x16 Fuchs are on and no rubbing. However the rears could do with a 10mm spacer as they are too inboard and the fronts could do with 10mm off the hub as they are too outboard. However to do this some material will need to be removed from the calliper to give brake clearance from the rim.

A 7'' rear and 6'' front Fuchs would give a better look for a road car in stock trim in my opinion and you could use 205/50 rear tyres and 195/50 with stock suspension. A 45 profile would give better clearance for lowered cars which is what I went for with 205/45x16 Toyo T1R's all round. Had them previously on the spiderwebs and they've last pretty well. Not perfect for track only work but for my mixed use are OK.

Currently not 100% perfect in my opinion but with a few winter hours spent correcting the +/- 10mm offsets, then should work pretty well on the eyes and on track.

lovely, best looking 924 I know (except for GT/GTS versions).
