The ratchet looks like it could be a craftsman, but the extension does not. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Not lock lugs. Just nuts.

I have seen many "personalized" Porsches over the years. That is tame compared to some of the horrible things Gemballa did to 911s.  
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			So this owner above has gold plated bling added, but does not put back the sheet metal around the engine. It will suck all the exhaust system heat right into the engine fan. Whatever, as long as he (or she) did it with their own money and not mine I don't care. The next owner will get it at a bargain, and it is an easy enough fix.

			Isn't the sheet metal still there?   It looks like he just covered it to make it look cleaner.

			That looks like the concrete ground around the engine.

 No, there is sheet metal that usually there that keeps you from being able to see down to the ground (or exhaust) on most of the cars, but on that one, you can see straight through to the exhaust and the ground. The sheetmetal is functional (has a purpose) for engine cooling (unless 912s are different).
