Well, usually you see most people saying how do I make my 996 looks like something else. Can't say I've ever seen this done.

Well, this is the first time I've seen any aircooled Porsche converted to a 996. Heart be still!

If it were me, I'd turn it BACK into it's original aircooled 1980 911 body. I love the 996, but not like this.

Exactly! It's like people that buy 996 cars and spend upwards $10K or more converting them into 997 cars. I'm like ... why don't you just go find a REAL 997!? Makes better sense.

Depending how much you got it for, you may be in the money, the 3.2 engine alone is worth more than many 996s out there.

That is one of the strangest conversions or body kits that I have ever seen.

I agree with you guys it wouldn't be the work I would of done to it that's for sure. But it really doesn't look all that bad in person. Definitely turns a lot of heads lol. I think I did a good deal on it. I'm going to drive it enjoy it and fix things as they pop up for the moment.

we should re-name / name-swap the thread titles, cause this is a confused 996

but I don't hate it, congrats on your purchase

Yes, I wish you good luck and happy smiles and many many miles.....was this an original insurance crashmobile restored with extensive use of fiberglass and a host of bonding agents? Although I have daydreamed of using various parts from a RS 60 Boxster along with installing a 996 turbo to a roller Boxster, with some refinements in the outlaw spirit, however, for me the jury is still out for this concept. However, I did install sugar scoop headlights on my 64 C after some stone damage to the original glass-covered headlights........At any rate, would one call this a 996SC or SC996....?

Thank you for the kind wishes. Not sure what you mean by an original crash mobile? Well it's a mixture of 996 turbo 911sc and 3.2 carrera so I think Frankenporsche lol

Buy a SC roller and start swapping parts back? A good start would be selling the headlights, rear lights, spoiler and decklid. You could get a good chunk of change for those parts and start acquiring the SC parts. Probably come out somewhat even and have a fun, correct SC.
