Like.That really looks alot more like a 928 viewing the back end and side. -
Interesting to see a few Mustang people on here also have 944s. This is my S2 down here in New Zealand.As a small aside as I am also from the upside down part of the globe but my 944 is left hand drive I alternate between normal right hand...

GAR944 replied to the thread (Ideal) Tow Hook locations.Spotted this thread after replying to another similar. Might want to have a quick read of it, it is S550 related but may have some ideas as well as plenty of photos. Plenty of concerns about strength and safety and mounting arrangements...
