Got this a few weeks now,and was looking at it and thinking ,why would anyone go to all the trouble of grafting an s2 bumper and interior into a 924.
I always thought it would be very difficult to get the dash in,but in fairness it doesn't look too bad.
I was thinking of repairing the damage to the bumper and making a mold from it,i must admit it does look fairly tidy ?
here's some pics,what do you think ?

She's a little rough, eh?

No, it doesn't look bad, I s'pose. Agreed it seems it might be a lot of work and expense for something that doesn't look particularly special, though. Seems to me that with arguably a lot less effort (and expense, assuming you didn't have a free and complete 944 interior and bumpers lying around), you could end up with something that looks a whole lot cooler, such as Carrera RSR's car or something along those lines...

Interior, yeah.

Front clip, meh.

Rear lower valance, bleh.



With the ROW front bumper, I don't think the 924 front fascia needs any improvement.

If I were to go to the trouble to do a rear valance, I would adapt (shorten) the 951-style air diffuser. I think that would look HOT on a narrow body 924...but that's only in my mind's eye...a lot of these sorts of thing seem cool until you see them in life size.

Glad another 924 found a good home!

not my taste per-se, but neither is a Corvette, and thousands of people like those cookie cutter cars (no offense to anyone who likes them here, hope I didn't start anything)

If you like the way she looks than fix her up and enjoy her for what she is!!

Cheers,

Ian
