Help, 924 turbo nose panel to 944 turbo
Sorry I am not familiar with the 924 turbo at all, so I am doing a conversion on my NA 944 and putting a 951 front end on it ( 951 bumper cover, under bumper, quarter panels, the works) which brings me to the question, I found a 924 turbo nose panel (with the air vents cut into it) will this fit on my 944 with the turbo front bumper?
924 nose piece on 944 turbo bumper? |

All I can say is that I've seen it done, but I'm really not sure if the 924 panel is shaped correctly.
What year is your 944? I have an '83 I'm doing the 951 front end on, and in order to bolt on the header it will need the structure that the header bolts to re-shaped slightly(stock '83 header was welded on).

why not spend all that money/effort into getting a real 951?

Many people just cut out the four vent area as a unit, cut an opening in a 951 panel, and weld it up, prep it for paint, and finish it. It's much easier than trying to get it to fit right.
