Dan I notice you've got a wideband and boost gauge. Is this a modified motor?

Not yet!

The long range plan for the motor is to put in an Integral Stage 1 cam, a manual boost controller, and possibly a liquid-to-air intercooler. I have two designs for the latter that I've been contemplating. I haven't done much to the motor simply because I need to put the finances toward the cosmetics on this one, and I have two other majorly modified motors under development. The goal was to minimize down time on this car and enjoy driving it while the other two motors are being built. But I would like to up the boost a bit, so the AFR was a preemptive measure.

Excellent job, Dan! And kudos to your paint guy.

Obviously the words "Pride of Ownership" do not express enough here! Great Job!

So was this originally a 944 that you put a 924 turbo engine in? Or was it a 924 turbo that you put a wide body kit on?

I know this one!

By VIN, the car is a 1980 931 (i.e. Series 1). The engine block and intake setup are M31.04 (Series 2), but I don't know if the pistons are S1 or S2. The turbo is a 931 S1 K26.

The person I bought the car from in Dec 2005 installed the factory 944 front fenders and rear quarter panels (yes, factory sheet metal, not fiberglass) and also installed the IFC dished rockers. The rest of the cosmetic treatments I did.
