In case anyone is wondering, yes I have done this, no its not as easy as it sounds, but its not impossible very straight forward, not going to look factory, but certainly impressive results are possible.

YOU do not have to weld in the subframe, in fact their are two companies that come to mind that do the conversion. The primary issue is the placement of items in the engine bay and that nose area must but cut away (badge area) along with bumper support fabricated to give you support.

Car I did/assisted with was a 931. Subsequently lost to an engine fire and parted out. Fiberglass sucks when you have a fire. Not my car, but seeing a grown man cry... 2 days of work, and the car and garage go up in smoke. Good thing: NO ONE was hurt, but insurance company was not forthcoming in the settlement.

Parts USED: GT RACING 968 PIECES for front and rear end, but 944 wide body quarters and 968 flares for front. More work than a 944, but certainly something worth doing if you want something differnt -LOOKING, car was a 82 damn shame, with the 16" wheels, sport seats, upgraded suspension, rebuilt motor... did manage to salvage motor as a core.

The Hausbrauen Stables might be another source of useful information.
