Wasn't really looking for one and I'm mainly an aircooled guy, but I couldn't pass up a deal on some fuchs for $1100. It just so happens the car came with them. Supposedly a barn find with 49k, but the way the passenger seat looks I can't understand that. Anyway not sure if it runs or drives, but it does have some decent 15x7 15x8 fuchs. It has been sitting for quite some time.

They say you can't feed stray animals or they will follow you home. Congrats on the new time-sink.

But, now that you have it, maybe it's the start of a new SP1 car? Spec944 is a fun class, there are a number of Dorkis that race in it.

The body looks quite nice from the pics. The interior, on the other hand, looks rough. Did a raccoon get in there?

LOL - I didn't know I needed a bigger one, have only had 914s and a beetle on it so far. I did want to extend it with a dove tail which should give some extra length. She barely fit.

Those are my straps. Didn't have far to go. It was a trailer to trailer exchange.

Nice find. I want those white Fuchs for the 911 Cup car! I have a bunch of 16s and have acquired two pair of rear 15x8.
