help me out guys, im really on the fence between keeping my 82 931 body bone stock or converting to 937 fenders/flares... i will need paint anyway, nasty dented quarter.. so im on the fence as to whether i should restore the body or modify it... i like the idea of wider, lighter fenders (id go fiberglass)
but what i dont know is if this help or hurt the car overall as far as handling and balance go...especially with a bone stock engine .... i would like to intercool at some point,but that wont be for awhile.. and i love the look of the 937... i just need some input on the pros and cons..decisions, decisions...???

For handling and balance your fine. If money isnt an issue
Id go for it. Wish Icould get on that fence Id climb right over
and do it. The 937 is very aggressive looking when compared
to a stock car.
