My front trunk is done. Looks great very happy with the results. Thanks PMB
Looks great! and I like the mag spare, nice!
Fantasic. Looks factory.
Wow...looks great! Wonder if that shroud would work for Suby radiator setup? Who makes it?
Looks great Jim 
Did you have an aux oil cooler installed under that shroud ?

Brace added to the suspension mount points for added strength.

Plate welded to the brace for even more strength to the front apron.

Thanks for showing it off. It looks great.
Looks great Jim! Can't wait to see your car again. Lots of changes since I drove it years ago
Looks absolutely great and very professionally done! I especially like the spare tire. This is something I have planned to do also but haven’t looked into yet. Looks like a 4 lug Fuch wheel with space saver tire, my question is the tire is it a space saver and if so where did you get it as I sort of thought they require a special wheel and tire?Click to view attachment

The tire came from PMB you will have to ask Eric Shea where he got the tire. Send him a PM he will answer.
Thanks will do.

You can put a space saver tire on other wheels. The 911 guys and some 914ers put them on Fuchs all the time. Many tire shops won't do it, some can't do it and if you find one that does a good job, pay them extra. It's not easy. You should be able to buy a space saver wheel and tire for $50-75.
Whoa....way nicer than factory 
Incredible job. No one EVER realizes how much work goes into a nicely finished project like that, but we and our cut fingers, broken tools, and German cusswords can totally appreciate it. Really fine looking - love the vertical spare.
This is a great idea. The spare tire can come from a 944. Vredstein makes them I think.

Might be a good place to try 911 front a/c condenser mount instead of cutting in to trunk floor/
where is the spare hold down bolt ?? pic before hand ?? curious
It's being extended to accomadate the wheel.
At the plater getting the finishing touches.

You can get a nice space saver spare and a BM spare mag as well. 2001-2007 or so year. Different prices on different day. I have seen new like Space savers for a very good price. I have done this. For 16 in I got a new one on eBay. I cannot find this brand new on the web
. There is a nice one on Ebay right now for $60. Plus shipping
