Looks good now...  As purchased, however, was a completely different story:

New wheels (from a 940 Turbo) helped immensely:

As did a strut tower brace... (not from a 940 turbo)

Coilovers are planned, but until they are installed, something HAD to be done about the ride height...

Yes, that's 7 INCHES of spring cut off the front (3 coils) and ~2.5" (2 coils) from the rear.

The results were WELL worth it.

I've since taken the original crappy wheels and painted them for snow tires.  Not too shabby if I do say so myself:

They're not mounted there, just showing off the color next to the car.
