So have spoken with the owner at length today.
it is a series 1 RHD 924 turbo. and not a factory special, but factory special all the same.
The photos posted were taken approx 8 years ago. Today the car while still not complete is mostly assembled.
work done is quite comprehensive with all assemblies on the car been removed and renewed.
Gearbox rebuilt
Engine blue printed balanced and built back to a GT/R spec? though didn't use forged pistons. He also lowered the compression to 7.5.1 with the intention to raise the boost - i believe it has adjustable boost control fitted.
custom manifold made to clear engine bay bracing
Induction is still to be sorted - though has std turbo and also the V8 K jet system they used. Was hoping he would say he ha the kugelfischer set up..but hey
Brakes refurbed and replaced callipers discs. soft and hard lines renewed
Master cylinder
All suspension items replaced new - yellow external adjust konis, bushes, T bars, way bar
all steering items renewed - tie rods , ball joints
new bearings installed to torque tube
GT body kit fitted
totally stripped bare metalled repainted in a very bright white.- interior undersides painted external needs finishing
body is braced in places.
cage is custom and at the time of build was eligible for both CAMS and road use..time has moved on , both counts
other stuff done
needs to be wired.
So still not certain what ill do as I have just taken on a 914-6 gt wannabe project - head says walk away. It is also located approx 1600km's nth of me so its a commitment to get up and have a look
