So have you been driving the Martini this year, Bart? Gone on any cruises or to any shows yet? _________________ 1980 Porsche 931

Actually I sold it.... We moved to Florida and I got killer offer on it. Car stays in Chicagoland area. Went to Fuelfed Zuffengrouppe Porsche show and took the car to the show. Everyone loved it. It is best driving and looking 924 around. Will be missed ! I would gladly restore another one if I can find it.... _________________ www.btr-chicago.com

Man if you even broke even on it congratulations!
I sincerely hope you made all the profit in the world and that a restoration of any 924 is a feasible proposition.. _________________ 80 Turbo - Slightly Modified |

Wow that looks like it has become new again, appreciate the work in getting absolutely everything off, and the desire to so, I wish I had gotten into all the crevices more now. Do let us know if you figured out how to dye faded carpet or where you found matching red. I also cannot believe how many new parts you found, amazing incredible restoration, well done. Now what? _________________ There is more to heaven and earth than is dreamed of in your philosophy... |

I've been the owner of this car since last July (2023).
Been working through many little issues to get the car up to tip-top shape.
Installed a set of Maxilite spider web (turbo style) wheels with larger, modern rubber (BRG Radial TA's).
New rear hatch latches, pins and struts.
Reinstalled a period correct Blaupunkt radio as the original had been removed by an intermediate owner.
Will be re-listing it on Bring A Trailer in the next couple of months with lots of pro pics of the car.
I'd post some pics but not sure how to do it on this website.
Looks like you just can't attach pics like many of the other sites. |

Please put the OE wheels back on , this car was so beautifully restored back to OE spec, would be such a shame to spoil it. _________________ 1984 n/a Ruby Red Metallic

+1 seems a shame to spoil such a nicely restored 924 and such a rare model.
This is coming from a guy that always modified the 924. _________________ https://www.the924.com |
