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

[rattlsnak]

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..

nice...very nice... thinking about the 3.8 RS clone?
Good luck with the new project!

[Elombard]

What motor are you contemplating?

[k9handler]

damn that is what I need...ha ha I have the 3.6 just need the 993.

[Bill Verburg]

What a great opportunity to get a nice clean front end


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

[rattlsnak]

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..

[rattlsnak]

or this one...

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

Keep em comming

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

[Elombard]

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!

[rattlsnak]

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..

[Bill Verburg]

Thats a stock 993RS tail

This is a 993 Duck

[Elombard]

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?

[livesportm]

GT2 look all the way!

[KobaltBlau]

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

[arcsine]

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

Kevin/Bill
didn't the GT2 have bolted on flares?
