Every time I see your car I'm always in awe of how great it is. You have one of the best examples of a 996 on this board. I'm also biased on this due to having the same setup almost (at least same wheels).

 

Thank you, I really appreciate your comments. I was very fortunate to find this car. It came with a new engine installed with 12k by the Porsche dealer with all the latest upgrades plus they fixed the IMS issue at the time and put a new clutch.

 

berfore: (7yrs ago...Mk1 factory Aero)


after: (present day...with a few minor changes )

 

So true in a good way

 

Some great looking transformations so far

 

My first 996 was the Vesuvio car. It had an engine fire and was sitting at a salvage yard when I found it (in 2003). The Iris Blue car belonged to a friend and had a dashboard fire when I purchased it.

 

Here is the Iris blue car after I finished it.

 

Mark, best transformations yet! X2! Well done.

 

I have to agree, best before and after I've seen.

 

Porschemama and alpine003, thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.

 

Here is my before and after. The after part is still a work in progress but almost how I pictured it.

Before when I bought it:


And how it sits now...

 

Slightly out of place buy I thought I'd share anyways. Great Thread.
