HOW TO DO AN ADVANCED SEARCH.

Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:56 pm by Admin


For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.

It isn't really a build per se.  I bought the car with an LS2 installed.  It's a 1992 968, 5 speed 951 trans, 993 headlights, M030 brakes, sport leather seats, 997 wheels.  I am pleased with the purchase but now I am finding tons of minor things done really poorly.  So this "build" will be fixing dumb decisions.  Ultimately, it'll be be a widebodystreet legal monster.

I want to build a 968 as well. Just hard to find at a cheap price without being junk.

I paid $16.5k with the LS2 swap done. It felt like a fair deal.

jmg944t Build Empty widebody?

Post  ryan08 Thu Dec 16, 2021 12:10 pm

Where do you find metal wide body panels for the 968? Anything for the body of the 968 is rare indeed.

All are fiberglass. Only steel I have seen were hand made on one car.

I built it man. Cut the fenders and quarters, put them where I wanted and filled in the slots.
