Quite like that, I like the 968 rear but not the front so much. Club Autosport do the conversion panel for it.
Would look great with an S2 front like wot mine has..... umm :wink:
Strong money for a early 944 though.

I found this car quite confusing to look at.

Turbo front bumper would have finished it off, had they done that with an oval dash car I could understand the price a bit more.
But as its been said that far to much for an early car not matter what works been done, personal opinion of course but I'd say its at least £1500 over priced

Gosh, this car has been for sale for about 2 years now and IIRC it started of at £4995 but I stand to be corrected, and I agree, it does need an S2 front to finish it off

Been on PH's classified for ages. Not my cuppa tea, body modifications doesn't do anything to the performance so what's the point :?: When it gets cheap enough some kid will have it :roll:

Looks tat IMO, why do that to a car,keep it as Porsche Engineers designed it, or save your pennys and buy a 968, i wonder what lurks under those sill extensions ?
I have a tenner in my pocket that say's it is a tired tarted up old thing, someone chancing their arm i suspect !

No No No! I don't like this conversion. Either have a 944 or a 968 but not both together.

I agree with Jim, it might look better on S2 or Turbo car but I still wouldn't do it. No need IMO. Save the pennies and get a 968 if that's what you really want.
