I thought the Group 4 cars had an adjustable front sway bar?

drilled holes on a different place.

Correct. There has been a discussion within our team to know if the very first Group 4 did have the adjustable sway bars or not. That might be a later upgrade.

Very nice !
I sent you a PM ... Porsche fan too ...

Along with the stamped (not drilled) frame and cabin perforations, another way to differentiate a street Pantera from the GR-4/GT-4 racers is, there were no mounting holes nor brackets provided for a heater/AC box under the dash, nor for the e-brake assembly to the console or its lever's slot in the floor pan.

Rik911 thank you for posting the additional pictures. You and your team have done well.

I have two follow-up questions. The first is in regards to the engine, is it equipped with a dry sump lubrication system? The second is in regards to the two uprights in the picture below, yellow arrows pointing at them. Are they attached at the upper ends to the roll bar in the interior, as per the original?
