Hello all,
Just curious to see what some of my fellow 924 owners have planned for their cars this year. I am painting, replaceing the windshield and getting it inspected. I hope to be driving it along the shores of lake Erie in the spring!!!

My 82 931 is due for a rebuild, that'll be one of the first things when it warms up.

The racecar will probably get a new LF fender, and some paint touchups, maybe improvements/fancier paint. The engine and all running gear will be unchanged, however, just getting some setup changes (alignment, etc). Might eventually put it on a dyno. Might also get around to some rewiring as well.

I'll definitely finish the bodywork, put airbrush flames on it, and get a new beige interior. Might get a 5 bolt conversion and some BBS style wheels, but that depends if I don't spend the money on some wheels for the Bimmer.

Happy New Year to all,

Plan to overhaul the suspension, bushes, shocks etc before spring comes.

It is in great condition, doesn't really need anything else.

JB, I got some beige seats if you are interested. As usual, the fronts are a dog's breakfast and the rear are nice.

Chrenan, are the seats all leather, or leather with cloth in the middle? My interior right now is beige already, but it's got the cloth inserts which I don't like.

No cloth, all vinyl. Leather was extremely rare on the 924 from what I understand. The fronts would need to be recovered, but the backs are fine.

Upgrade the cooling system

Staged injection

14-15lbs boost

Hybrid GT light conversion

New seats and interior upgrade

New struts and shocks and maybe springs

2008 is teardown and repaint

These are my "resolutions" wich I rarely stick to

finish CGT body kit, re-paint it, and overhall engine. i think that will be enough for this year, though if i get it all done early, i might start playing with the interior, ive always wanted to built my own custom dash and console.

new tires and bilsteins all around and my older 79 will just need a little interior cosmetic attention and she's ready to play.

I don't have the time nor the cash to touch my 8k mile 79 - its sitting in a nice warm garage like it has for the last 20+ years.
