I'm trying to get a 924 owner to join PCGB. He has spent 6 years restoring a basket case 924 into something quite amazing - it's white, Martini colours, painted underside you could eat your dinner off...
He e-mailed me as he wasn't sure he'd be welcomed with a modified car!
Welcomed? I want to write an article on it and display it!

As I said before, this may be an ok car simply by looking at (list above) what its had done to it. Only someone who understands 944`s a bit would do what he`s done for they arent available on a standard 944 and I`m sure many 944 owners would like those enhancements but cant afford it or wont afford it. eg: a bespoke welded in roll cage is normally about £1200 - £1500 and I`m pretty sure they may well be clubsport seats.
If its had the money spent on it that I think it has (especially the engine) and a good paint/body job then I`ll wager that its spot on mechanically and is probably a good (track?) car bargain.
Mind you, theres a nice looking Turbo on the bay with a new engine and turbo and DPW etc for under 5 grand (I must stop looking [&o])

I have resisted commenting on the car , and most of what I think in both directions has now been said on the thread so why have my opinion.
However what I do find interesting is that whatever your opinion on the car, look at the number of page views and the number of replies to this topic.
Very few topics raise such interest which in turn means so does this car
( positive and negative interest of course)
As a forum admin ( elsewhere), I can say that this topic is a forum admins dream [

Still the alloys look OK and at least the door mirrors are original [

Winning bid £4100 ! (not sure what smiley to put after that !)
Interestingly he doesn't show any pics under the hood. Certainly if he's gone to a 16v motor from the old 8v he would be showing that off. Conversely if he's had the 8v bored out to a 3L I'm sure it would have lots of shiny bits under there too, soooooo...why no pics?? Says 2479cc in the advertisement too. Hmm.....
Looks like a poxy Honda wannabee
I like the Gulf one but I guess I would. It's also got 'GT2' style wider guards. Be interesting to see some more pics of that car. Anyone got any?
