Default 81 Porsche 924s

So the other vehicle I had delivered was this 81 924s. The PO started a restoration, but lost motivation part way through. I came across his ad for it and all the extras for a $1. I had a friend pick it up in Simi Valley, and a couple months later it's in my hands. This one I will get back on the street. It has a rebuilt head on the engine along with a huge turbo that has been rebuilt. I've got to sort out the interior, a little wiring, and finish the EFI install. All those totes of parts were included with the deal also plus a tranny, 2 stainless exhausts, an extra block, and 2 extra heads.

I'm actually very curious about that Jeep with a 4 into 1 exhaust on the passenger side, and what I assume is a matching one on the other side...

I've thought about buying one of these 924's and restoring it. I'm not sure what the parts are like to buy or anything of that sort though. Good luck and good to see one of these being put back on the road!
