Fuel cell restored to like new condition

After some race incidences, the body of the vehicle needed to be straightened on our Celette Bench. 

Repairs needed to be made to the door skins

New front bumper as the old one was in disrepair

Straightening the chassis, rubbing is racing and this car certainly raced.

Refinished the magnesium centered BBS mesh wheels

Unlike most race cars which are body in white, this 934 was blue all the way through.

Ni-resist ring for high boost pressure

The 3.0L flat six makes 480 to over 500 horse power depending on boost level.  

Unlike most race cars, this vehicle had a full paint job for its livery 

Everything was masked off by hand in our in-house paint shop

Hand painted stripes and letter now cover the wide body of the 934.  

The heart of the beast, 3.0 liters, five fuel pumps, two water to air intercoolers and a weapons grade turbo.
