Brief History: 

Built as a treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder, the "ESSO" allows one to enjoy precipitation of the frozen variety. (Along with rain, dirt, the occasional stray shopping cart...). In all seriousness, this "poor-mans Rally build" is the perfect repurposing of what was a derelict impact bumper 944. This neglected and abused base 2.5L was mechanically resurrected and now gives a respectful head-nod to the Alméras Frères 911 SC.
