yea i posted this up a while ago, its 1 of 2 original porsche/golf chopped and stretched cars.... nice to see its being looked after so well
I thought it was, not really a common mod, though must be a common idiot driving, this thing is a special creation. not to go hooning around in!
an insane conversation... bear in mind that the 928 back then was maybe a couple years old and cost as much as a 911turbo... so someone decided to splice the two together lol ie getting a nearly brand new 100k+ car and putting a golf body on it haha was that by Sbarro? i used to have an amazing concept car book with this sorta stuff in there was a rear engined 911turbo mk1/2 at the time also by a company called BB i think
Exhaust pipes and wheels... Widened bodied Mk1 - cut down the centre and widened - with 928 underpinnings. The only quesion is whether that is the original one - made at silly expense, but I forget by who - or a remake.
The bottom half is a 928 chassis, suspension top mounts, everything. One-off bumpers, bonnet, bootlid and screens. Wrapped in Mk1 Golf panels.
Theres a thread about them on here after I posted that video ages ago, few links to magazine articals ect... the price was silly especially as the cars were both new when it was done.
