Ok, here is the break down in order of creation and body 924 - narrow body 924 GTP - flares tacked onto narrow body 944/944 turbo body style created which is a “wider” body than the 924, but not as wide as the 924 GTP or the 944 GTR (which uses similar bodywork). HOWEVER the GTP flares were never meant to “fit” on the “wider” bodywork. So I had to get narrow stuff to graft these on. BUT since parts of the body contours still remain, the 924 panel actually bows out a touch, making this even wider than the factory 924 GTP. ![http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/porsche-924-093_5-06.jpg](http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/porsche-924-093_5-06.jpg) If that isnt confusing 😉 ---

Will the trend ever end?! No 😉 I really liked my last set and only had them at the BE show last year before I sold them to my buddy’s g/f for her 996 C2. (On the left at the last BlownEuroz meet). Anyway, bit of progress for today, got the fender wells trimmed, cut up the passanger’s side bodywork, continued trimming panels. Hopefully going to have both sides mocked up tomorrow, and dzus fastenered up Monday/Tuesday so the panels can go out for paint end of the week. Engine should go back together this coming week too 🙂 The splitter and some other random crap arent on the car right now, but it’s certainly coming along. ---

im probably missing something here, but why did you cut the quarter panels so high when the inner wheel well is as low as it is? ---

Even if he does the rear, why would he ever need it with his whopping 100hp.
