I am new to this forum , having used the PCGB forum for several years now.
I was recommended this forum by Simon from Openshaw , Top Man and working some wonders on his S2.

I currently own a G reg 1990 S2 with Front late M030 complete struts, rear Koni adjustable, Pro Max ECU performance chip and a nice Janspeed rear back box.
My S2 drives really well for it's age and it is surprisingly fast for an S2.
I am selling the S2 on ebay and auction ends today , so sadly it might sell :( I am in to minds to sell the S2.
I also bought a 944 Turbo 1991 body shell with the intensions to build a light weight track or road racer.
The body shell is way to good to scrap and I have the V5 title , it is light front O/S corner damage and beyond eco repair , so the insurance wrote it off and is branded a Cat C now. I think with the cost of repairs and spares parts for this type of car , it does not take much to have them wrote of in the event of an accident.
The 944 Turbo is a long term project , get the shell stripped down and treat any rust and then build up to personal spec.
I want to get rid of the roof panel and have a solid skin roof. GRP light panel front wings , might fit 924 Turbo Bonnet , Perspex windows, GTS lights. Big flared arches , Nice 250bhp engine with extras, manual rack , no ABS , just use a brake bias ajuater , nice suspension and good big calipers.
Wish list goes on and on . Below is a picture of my old 944 Turbo I owned.

This is my S2 on ebay at the moment.

Thanks best regards J

Hi thanks , sadly the 944 market is a little flat ? The S2 did not sell and I could do with the garage space for my S2 .
Sadly I might have to let the 944 Turbo go :( I have listed it on ebay under spare parts .
This picture was taken today , all panels are just loose , to mock fit . I think it need replacement bonnet hinges .
The front bumper I have is mint with no stone chips, front nose panel is rust free and complete turbo lights units are mint , but I would opt for light weight GTS look .

This is my bench mark , I would stick with a Porsche Turbo engine .
