liyi_92 37 Report post Posted June 23, 2014 http://www.turners.co.nz/Cars/Search/Porsche/996/12586848/ This is that 996 Cab with a coverted 997 front end. With a reserve at 21k I think its a steal for what it is but it is kind of an abomination if I really think about it. Would have been much nicer if it stayed as a 996.

318Touring 40 Report post Posted June 23, 2014 The conversion was nicely done, it was a pity the rear lights were left in their original form. Engine wise, would need to be brave to touch it without knowing whether it'd had a rebuild. Missing lots of interior panels, what happened to it? One key, missing rear seats base on both sides, including lumbar support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I instantly noticed it as this exact car was on TradeMe a few years back trying to sell between 40 - 50k. Looking at the rear it is a dead giveaway though. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-forum/734787-996-997-front-end-conversion-process-and-pictures.html this is a very good link that shows the whole process of someone doing a full 996 - 997 external update to a very high standard. Seems like there is still some work that needs to go in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
