Hi guys
Is that any list of body parts and panels that i need, to convert my 924 to a 944 (just the look)
I need new fenders, Left and right side front wings, and in the back? i'll have to use fiberglass?? or is there any other way??
kind Regards

| You could do all fiberglass or you could do steel. The 944 front fenders and spoiler will bolt on. The rear 1/4 panels would be easier to do fiberglass but you could cut off steel 1/4 panels from a 944 and put them onto your 924. This would be a big project though. |

Why not just sell your 924 and buy a 944? For the cost and work necessary to do that conversion I'd think you could easily match the price of a 944.

Just use the 944 front end body parts and buy some CGT rear flares

My 924 was 500€ i cant find a 944 for less than 4000€!
That's the main reason!

have you thought about the cost of the conversion?
fiberglass is quite expensive and everything you do, you'll have to get it painted too.
44 parts like front bumpers/valence aren't that cheap too iirc.
