I had Brazilian Puma GT wheels that where opened up centers to use on the stock 914 hubs. Heard that the car got thrashed out in the mid 1990's.

People can say what they want about the Chalon, but done right (like yours), look really good. Nicely done!

Sad to know it's probably not with us any more.

Thanks, the car was done correctly and was a head turner at the time.

Back in the day (about 1989) I wanted a Chalon so bad . . . but was worse off than broke.

Nice build.

Ditto (both on the wanting and brokeness), and will admit to still having a soft spot for well executed examples. I have zero interest in them now, but still appreciate how tastefully they modernized the style for the time.

Looks like mine's the same color, but the bodywork is a little different, presume whoever built mine back in the day did the re-work when installing the kit.
No accordion bumper extensions, no big rubber bumper extensions, rear fender air scoops (where my aux oil cooler resides).

One of the ugliest kits for these cars that was invented. By mid 90's you couldn't give these kits or cars away! Still can't, Lol!
