ID if this is the factory slantnose?
 

Hi,
I found this car at the Porsche center in Bangkok.
I couldn't find the vin in the book.
Is this the factory turbo S?
Thanks

the major clue that this car is probably not factory slant is shown by the right side headlamp opening
seen there is the fabricated cover mount that most converters used when fabricating slant fenders with mazda rx7 mechanisms

if you can post a few pics of the inside of the forward portion of the trunk, then we can confirm whether this is factory or done afterwards

also, difficult to be sure, but the rear shock bridge looks like smaller 911 version, not turbo

Does it have the large rear turbo control arms?

It doesn't look like it from the pictures posted. The fender doesn't have the top vents and like Dave said the headlight opening isn't the right shape. I have the same side factory slant fender I am looking at right now and it is different.

It looks like a fun shop there.

The h/l bucket in the fender doesn't appear to be a factory unit (looks aftermarket as Dave said) but the four bolts in the red frame looks like the mounting system the factory used for the h/l motor. Perhaps the tub is an original slant but the fenders not. Better pics of the inside both below the hood latch and the tub sides will determine better.

Good point Kevin. I have a spare factory slantnose front clip right here and it does have the 4 holes you have marked in the picture.

I double checked it to be sure.

It doesn't look like a factory version. If you look inside the bonnet, passenger side, there should be holes for the headlight mechanism. There should also be a support bracket for the heim joint(see pic). I also believe the factory did some reinforcing of the factory panel by the headlight arm mechanism.
