997 Turbo Donor car

[rotorhead]

I'm sitting here in Dubai trolling through the reams of sports cars for sale and I came across a 997 basket case just thought I would post it here in case someone is desperate for parts. The whole car is going for hundreds of dollars.

Wow. Did that car fall off a ship?

I have been told by someone that lived there and needed to leave quickly, as often is the case with these cars owners. This is one of the reasons why you see so many exotic cars abandoned.

Issue is often doors are left unlocked, keys in ignition windows left down etc etc. Parts are taken off by locals. Sand is blown all over with wind and the electronics and inside of the car is done.

These are cars that need to be completely stripped, and built back up from the ground up.

Tempting though!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp8dRbwOeR8

That’s kind of tempting. I’ve got a 997 cup roller I had considered doing a GT2 style turbo cup.

I have a buddy with a 997T that would have given his left you know what for the transmission. As it is I think he had to sell both of them for a new transmission.
