| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]So it's back on the road, Finally. I'm still working on it, but honestly who isn't? So far since anyone from here has seen it i've done a few things to it. I've got 944 single piston front and rear brakes. Cookie cutter wheels, but i've got a set of Cayenne 17's waiting on rubber. The struts are custom fabbed out of Super beetle/ honda crx/ and 944na. They work well and lowered the car just right. They ride terrific, no complaints. I've got to lower the rear, that's painfully obvious. The interior is a work in progress. I just installed a custom 911 dash and running 944 gauges. The seats are late model prelude, very comfy. They have very similar lines to the stock seats so they fit aesthetically. Here's a few shots of her. I'm hoping to have the day off so i can bring her to Kips party in November.

| It is a work in progress. I need to get the dash finished and that rear end has got to come down. I don't like that raked look. | |

| I dropped the rear about an 1 1/2". I need to get wide rear fenders to tuck the rears. I'll drop the front a bit more when i can drop the rear also. The ride is fantastic and it handles like it's on rails. Now if i can get rid of that nasty fuel smell from turning left.... | |

| yeah i looked at it today, expecting "wet" cloth vent lines. Guess what i found. one of the vent lines on the right side of the tank was just off. So every time i took a right turn, fuel just dumped out into the trunk. it's fixed now. | |
