Hey everybody, I posted a thread similar to this on Rennlist, but haven't gotten very many replies (the 924 forum there seems kindof dead).
I was wondering, is there a 924 picture post with tons of pics anywhere on this board? I did do a search, and found smatterings of pictures in a few threads, but nothing with hundreds of pictures of cool 924's or anything.
Though my first and most passionate love is for Porsches, I am also a VW enthusiast - and have about 2,500 pictures of Volkswagens and Audis that I've found over the years saved on my computer and online. I figure there's got to be somebody out there like me, but with a 924 lean...
My motivation for posting this, is that I distinctly remember seeing a picture online once, of a 924 that was dropped and styled in the "German-look" - that is, it had wide wheels with some poke and small tires with a bit of stretch.
Anyways, here's a picture of a nice little GTI, which also demonstrates the look I am referring to. Cheers!

go to http://images.google.com/ and key in "porsche 924' when I did it google returned "Results 1 - 20 of about 11,600 for porsche 924"
One of these lifetimes when I get around to getting a new server for 924board I plan to offer free image space to the board members to store their pics.
Nice looking GTI. _________________ 1979 924 (Gone to a better place)

Thanks for the tips guys. I've done the Google thing, but so many of the results are just plain-jane 924's. I want to see some 924's that have had their potential fulfilled, you know? Downloaded the zip, we'll see what's in there.
I wish I could take credit for the GTI, it isn't mine. It was a recent addition to my collection of pics, and I thought it exemplified the look I was asking about pretty well. _________________ Josh, CPN

Hey guys, I decided to use one of the pictures in that zip file to make (pretty much) what my own German-look 924 might look like. Here it is:

Wow Look how low the bottoms of the trailing arm where the shock mounts on the orange photoshop. Did you make that orange image? I love how you added the deeper dish to the wheels even, that looks like it took some skill in photoshop. _________________ Mike

Pretty cool looking picture. It'd be cool to have a 924 that low, but I bet it would be awful dangerous.

Yeah, I made that orange chop - it did take a couple hours of work to get it just right (my artist's eye says it still isn't though ). This was my first attempt at "widening" wheels. Not too bad I guess, but definitely the most labor intensive part of the job. It'd probably have been alot easier if the original wheels had more than 1mm of lip.
