id rather watch an all naked love fest between Vanessa Phelps and Oprah (when really heavy, i knowshe yo-yo's a bit) than rest my gaze on this atrocity again.

just to clarify, i would not be enjoying seeing the love fest either, lets leave the whaling to the Japanese.

the crime

Actually, without the rag top on, it's not bad as a roadster.

Hey Slam! Take a peek at this one!

I love how one guy asks "who did the conversion?" and the owner says "I dont know". which means " I did it in my garage with a hacksaw when I was high on crack!"

I think there was a carriageworks that did these. They're really pretty sharp looking in person!

Heh. I love it! That shape lends itself to going topless (something we don't want to see from Oprah). I will say that the ragtop itself is hideous, but the rest is nice. Anyone know what those wheels are?

This is exactly what I want to do, but not in red. I've picked a minty electric green for my roadster project. After seeing this one, I think I'll eschew the ragtop and delete the side windows, though. That rear trunk lid doesn't look like the 944S2 cab lid, Dan. I wonder what they used. Too bad the car's in the UK.

I had a really good look at my 78 vis-a-vis using it for the project but the unibody's bent so it's now just a parts car. I've got two others to choose from, both of which are 5-bolt cars. Summer project for me!

I hate the ragtop (actually, there's not too many cars period I like with the ragtop up), but I really like it as an all-time roadster look. I'm guessing that deck is a custom fiberglass piece. Sorry, glass fibre (forgot it was in the UK )

Slam, if you do this project, you'll be able to drive it, like, what, 4 weeks out of the year??

Yup! About 4 weeks. But I'll make enough memories in those 4 weeks to last all winter...

looks like a bieber conversion, a german company who did conv. like theese. A guy i know has this car besides his race 931.

A 924 n/a with some modifications








it shure looks a bit odd, but not that bad.

I think the worst thing about that car is those ugly 5 stars. Straight out of 1990!
