Unsure on the length - they are 250 ft/lbs. No helper springs. These are sold for the 944, which of course can be used on the 924

The car should be primed by this time next week. The color I am leaning towards is pure white, with literally a few drops of blue just to make it have a little something in there (you won't see a blue color in other words).

Also the lower middle of each of the taillights will now be used as an additional brake light. But not just any additional brake light, it will be a Hyperlite California Approved LED Flashing Brake Light Kit!

I also bought my wheel spacers. More on that on my "Searching for Quality Products" blog.

When i read wheel spacers I had to move my attention
from the exhaust tips. They did nice work I can do that.
I was wonderin what was gonna happen there
(square hole round tip). What did they use (as
if you know).

Between you and me I could only imagine some magic dust because I would never have been able to do such awesome work. Well, otherwise they are just that good - but in all seriousness, I don't know how they did it. I just know then dun-it-good!

Check out their website for fun if you'd like! Minneapolis Car Restoration

I hope you'll never get bumped in the back with the rear bumper molded onto the quarter panels and sideskirts!

but man this car will be nice!


Incase I have not mentioned it, I just bought these Blinking Brake Lights that will get installed in the lower middle part of the tail lights. I actually discovered after I received these the other day that modifying the tail lights to accept these should be very easy! I should have it fully modified in less then 30 minutes and it should look VERY clean and natural when finished! So excited! So these will actually be an addition to my current brake lights, grabbing the attention of the driver behind me. Hooray! I'm so paranoid of people behind me no matter the car....

be prepared.

yes, this is my car.

test fitted the wheel adapter and rim on one side. looks good.

car is (mostly) primed.

closing in on paint time.

we have about 2 weeks before we will paint the car.

here goes...



























Look at the old wheel/tire location on this side. Perfect example of how much wider the new setup is:
