Got that right! I have four, and had to pass on a nice two-tone non-runner for cheap. Been too darn cold, and with a sore back lately, to get anything done on the projects. When done, then Og get more~!

Hey Mike 9311

Did you buy the 931 that was on craigslist and the other two were in a factory workshop from the plumber guy? One had front end damage, the other had the engine in bits.
If you did I'm glad they went to a good home. If I didn't have the Alfa project in the garage as well as the 931 rebuild I would have purchased one of the parts cars.

Finally got mine from the paint shop so here goes.

It is a 1981 RoW 177hp S2 model in Pewter/Platinum Metallic paint with a beige-brown berber vinyl/cloth interior.

This one is originally a German one owner car (1981-1988) after which it was imported to Sweden but due to missing emission documentation (long before EU) did not pass inspection and was pretty much standing still for the next 20 years or so. An enthusiast finally bought the car in late '08 as a parts car for his track car project. He found the car to be too original and in too good of a shape to be hacked so he put some effort in reviving the car. With the current EU legislation there was no problem getting the car inspected and registered in Sweden. I then bought the car in late '09 and imported it to Finland.

At the time of purchase the car was mechanically quite strong as the previous owner had gone through it thoroughly. During its time in Sweden it also had got new brakes and a factory reconditioned turbo. The gears and clutch work almost perfectly.

The only downfall was that during storage the car had got a number of small (and a few larger ones) dings and dents here and there, no rust anywhere though. And although its only been driven about 109kkm's so far the dashpad is severely cracked. Well I haven't found a decent replacement so I opted for a Coverlay dash cover. To be honest the color is not a real match and build quality is rather crappy considering the plain cover costs around $100. I wander why no one has thought about producing an exclusive cover with a softer texture on top to imitate the factory look... a business idea Dan

I was planning to keep the car original with a rather limited budget but in a spur of a moment all hell broke loose. I bought a 937 Carrera GT turbo and intercooler, decided to have the car repainted, got a CGT hood (thanks Gegge) and scoop. After all the parts are a bolt on to an '81 931 and the car can still be converted back to original rather easily.

The car is still narrow body cause I wasn't convinced with the aftermarket hard glasfibre CGT panels and the factory parts are not available (and even if they were, they would cost a small fortune).

In case someone on this side of the pond is interested the car is most likely going to be put on the market within the next weeks to come. Unfortunately I don't have the place, time and energy for 3 Porsche's... the car is not cheap by any standards, especially as cars are so damn expensive over here

Here's a few recent pictures of the car.

I have a TMIC like yours, and was wondering if you could zoom in on the passenger side mounting bracket and take a pic for me? Mine did not come with brackets, and currently, have a home made goofy looking bracket to support the unit on that corner. Thanks, Dave.

That's all right, while flogging the beast today, I broke the throttle body bracket where I connected my home-made bracket. So, back to the drawing board for both sides! And, just replaced a broken lower charge tube bolt, so, maybe it's time to check motor mounts, etc. dave
