Project 993, part #1. (here we go again...)
 

Well I couldnt go without a p-car for long. I picked up my next project today, a 95 993 that was clipped in the front.

It does not have a motor or interior.

I have a donor front tub in case I need it, and it came with one fender and hood. AND, it has Big Reds on it, and I got some complete Bilstien w/Eibach coil overs also.

Should be really straight forward. It is already at the body shop to get the front fixed. Then it comes home for me to figure out all the harnesses and brackets, bolts, etc...

Here are some pics..

Good luck with the new project!

What motor are you contemplating?

As opposed to the more usual US m&#239t wart look

Hey, bill that is a nice look. Im leaning toward the gt2 look. Or something like john colosantes 993. As far as the motor, im either going with a 993 3.6 or leaning towards a 965 (C2T) engine.

or i do like this..

It's not healthy showing these kinds of pictures to me...

Keep em comming :D

The 993 GT2 sits at the top of my list... Keep us updated.

How about a backdated (2.7 RS/RSR) front end - fenders, bumper, hood all avail in fiberglass. Don't know if it's been done with a 993 backend. I think it might be kinda beatchin-any Photoshop guru's out there that can take a whack at that look??

Yes, me too. But thats not what I was referring too. Get rid of the black warts between the turn signals and the fogs.

I think that eventually I'll replace the fogs w/ scoops

That wing.....that thing is just huge, cant get used to it. Everything else is great, is there a "lighter" looking wing option. Maybe a 996 GT3 look wing. That GT2 wind looks so bulky!

Dude, you dont like the SuperCup tail? (rs/cs)?

Well, i'll only need it if I go with the turbo motor, for intercooler clearance issues. Othwerwise Ill leave the factory motorized tail, or go with a ducktail or one like this..

Thats a stock 993RS tail

This is a 993 Duck

That tail on the yellow car you show. I dont know, to me it looks....fat. The duck looks cool but some how not quite right with the modern shape. I guess I really like the 993s tail-less. Its a great look. Not sure if it will work with the front end treatment. If I had a 993 I would put a duck on it I believe. Depends on the car color maybe?

GT2 look all the way!

Count me as a vote for the 965 engine. RWD air cooled turbo with 993 looks and rear suspension :)

Given the choice, it would become a 993 RS 3.8.

didn't the GT2 have bolted on flares?

Yes, it did

But I believe that they are referring to the front spoiler mit winglets that was used on the 993RS CS

The base 993RS used this version for the front splitters

This is the rear decklid you need.

Yo Marc.
That is a nice machine. Was it a local? You should leave it black, more subtle and less intimidating that way, especially if you go with the turbo option.

This is the last one for awhile though, right? Your starting a cult following here with folks getting excited about these great representations of your pieces of artwork. "Marc's Porsche Studio". I am certain this project will be just as stunning throughout its revival as the previous signed pieces.

Big test drive of the brown bomber tonight....

Later

:cool:

Bill Verburg, that blue 993 with French lights, is it yours?
If so, nice pair of KTMs ! Me likes ! Your garage looks kind of like mine, full of Ducati memorabilia... and where is the Ducati?


Now geting back to our topic - 3.8 RS or GT 2 !

After seeing the last one, I can't wait to follow this project!

I'll e-mail you the list of things I want on the car. That way I won't have to change anything after you sell it to me.

The C2T will do just fine behind the factory 6spd. See if you can get a full bay intercooler under the Duck while you're at it. Let me know when your done so I can pick it up.
Thanks - Brian

Started on the frame work today, its not bad at all. Only pushed back @ 1 3/4 in the right front, back to about 8 inches.

Im not a big fan of the GT2. It looks to much of an Add-On Kit. Right now im deciding on a color to repaint.

Rarly, LOL.. you're probably right!
