Hey all..

Not sure if anyone actually uses a 56k connection anymore

Sorry I have not been around much.. been busy busy busy... but as promised, yesterday I finally pulled the camera out and went trigger happy Still gotta get around to finishing off quite a few things, but it is coming in place nicely.. *needs invisable turn signal bulbs I know*

Anyway.. here they are:



























There ya go guys

If I had more time, or scorpio lived closer.. this car would be done in no time!!

Very poor pictures, too many shadows and reflections.

Take another set either in the sun or in the shade and have the car parked at least 15 feet away from anything.

Disappointed in you?... Sure am.

P.S. The doors look great!

How much did it cost in material and how many hours?

your car looks better than mine. and the paint looks great along with the doors. though, at first I was wondering why you had all shots of the front of the car. then I saw your wheels were so sunken in it looks like you're on spare tires. with flares you NEED to get a wider, lower offset wheel.

Looks good Sparky but what do you call it?
968 rear, 944 front, lambo doors...... so confusing

It looks great! Do you plan to do anything wild to the interior? The only thing I would do to it now is replace those wheels. I love flaired fenders, but they look funny if the wheels dont fit the space. It makes it look like a float at a parade lol (might put right head light back in also )

car by day...finding hot passengers by night

I fully understand your pain with regards to the wheels.... SOOO hard to find a low offset 4 x 108 rim ...let alone one that looks semi decent...(short of using spacers which are illegal here)

All ive been able to find are mustang rims..their offset and PCD are good...there style..mmm debateable at best for a porsche... and theyre all in the States..ie postage = ridiculous

Next step..HUNT DOWN SOME HORSEYS TO GO UNDER THE BONNET

DEFINATE PU55Y MAGNET

Hey all

Thanks for the comments.. Keep em coming

Here are some replies:

Neil, dont worry.. when the car is finished, it will have a proper photoshoot and ill cover the car with girls in bikinis About the cost in material.. dont even want to think about that Time.. 1000's of hours!
Im not sure if you remember what it looked like when i started..

To all:
Big fat wheels are already on the list. But I will get those on at the end once everything else is complete.. I will do a 951 brake upgrade and get some 285/18's on the rear and 225/18's on the front.. I have a style in mind already so its just a matter of time

968rz.. its a bit 924, a bit 944 and a bit 968.. 924+944+968=2386/3 and the Porsche 945 is born

2Fast, the head light will go back in very soon dont worry.. it still has a long way to go before it is ready.. for the interior, ill be working on getting that looking HOT!

Scorps, MOVE HERE!! It is a party island seriously! I will work on getting some power out of it once EVERYTHING else is PERFECT.. until then I will figure out a way to steal your BAE turbo kit *Evil laugh*

Hey morghen, the paint just looks good in the pic.. it needs a full re-spray because it is a mess.. You will see it in person one day, im sure of that The car will take on a whole new look once big wheels are on and it is lowered a bit

Ill be sure to keep the pics coming when more progress is made

"The 945. A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Sparky: a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the insane, the car-less, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law."



Sparky....Your car looks cool.

I thought that my pre pubescent obsession for the knight 2000 had indeed been laid to rest long, long ago....but oh no.....you done-did-it again! = ]

...and might I suggest this....killer move....saved for those special occasions....like when that super-hot chick is outside the club with her friends.....and she's like... "oh my god!" trying to see who's driving that mean machine...and as you roll forth.....you reach forward....and hit the switch......and........ Bingo! .....who's the Man!

ok maybe it's just me on this one = ]

seriously....hope it all works out great for the nordbergring man.....wish i could be there too! ; ] Keep up the ace work!

All the best
Tiny
