Thanks guys. 
Stew, not quite rare, but it is tough to find a decent set of low offset wheels
without spending a big bucks on a new set. 
Front: 17x8 Offset - 28mm
Rear: 17x9.5 Offset - 15mm

Thanks Dino!
I got a pile of parts building for it. Going with cosmetics for the time being.
Splitter, Euro Fogs, S Sway Bars, Konis, Welt Springs, Rebuilt Steering rack, Rebuilt Control Arms, New Tie Rods,
968 (mirrors, handles, door panels), Sparco Steering Wheel, Near crack free Dash (only $50) fixed headlights (don't know if I'm gonna use them).
Just need a couple warm days to get started.

Wheels for the 951 - Fox944 - 02-16-2010

i would. I really like the fixed headlights.

Pat you should also change your rear bumper for a euro version. I have always thought that the US spec rear bumper spoils car's lines.

Here is some inspiration [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

Wheels for the 951 - PorscheDude - 02-16-2010

I agree. A euro bumper is on the list. I really like them myself.
Maybe, I will get lucky at Hershey...

Had a lovely afternoon pulling the old dash, I reffer to as the grand canyon.
Only took a little over 2 hours. Should take 5 or 6 to install the replacement.
I want to rewire the Stereo, boost gauge and A/F meter.

Spent this morning painting the splitter. Won't get that on till after I rebuild the front end.

I have a replacement dash waiting for me to gather enough courage to take it on. You may have inspired me to give it a shot.

---

Stew, it's fairly simple. There is a good write up on clarks garage.
No surprises along the way. Just take your time. The dash itself, is only held in with 6 screws.
Hard part is getting everything else disconnected.

I've done it to my S2, pretty much a walk in the park just have lots of parts bags and label well. Turn up the stereo and brew a fresh pot of java, makes it a fun day.
