Default It's back - the white DP928

I know a lot of you either love it or hate it. Personally I love the wide body look on the car although I agree the strakes on the door would need to go.

The car will need a lot of work. Every corner has areas that will have to be repaired. Mostly stress cracks or dings from either bumping something or from going over speed bumps that hit, etc..

I'm working through my calculations now to determine if I'm going forward or not.

Here's a video of the car running yesterday.

Looks and sounds better than I expected from the pictures. Gimme a ring when you get a chance.

One of my friends has a red DP928. Where is the rear wing on the white car?

I think its sad that people who want a Camaro can't get one, but can get a 928.

Fiberglass repair is easy and white paint is relatively easy to patch. I would cover up the stakes and get rid of the spoiler. What year is it? Unless it is 32V the price on the windscreen is nuts. Interior condition?

I kind of dig it... The wheels look tiny in the widebody though.

Couple more pics

Don't be fooled, this is a project car. The body kit needs attention along with some mechanical issues, but I'm happy to have found it.

I like it too. Does that make me bad? It's got that Lambo Countach 80s thing going on in some weird way.

I dig it too. Keep it all as is. Porsches had these strakes in the
greedy '80s
Very nice.

Here are two front shots taken in the past that I found. I didn't take any straight on shots when looking at the car over the weekend.
