Does your conversion have a blue vinyl interior? That car looks damn familiar almost like one a friend Mike at ByDesign had back in the '90s..
I also see your in the valley 818 , My sis lives in Sherman Oaks just south of Ventura Blvd,
back in the day lots of middies and '80s chassis were done in this manner only the best
would still survive today, Bert.
Just noticed shaved rain gutters as well ...cool upgrade of the times...haha

Is that Murder Nova in the back?

No the interior was switched to look like the 993 but its kind of beat. Thats a while nother project of it own.

There's so much lingo or info you guys are using are using that I don't understand.. Lol

jleventer,
You stumbled in the an amazing treasure trove of 993 knowledge, from shade tree mechanics to full Pro engine builders.

Just be warned that the lot tends to be a bit more purist than the "go for it, mod'er" types. "We" like our mods, but nice, reversible stuff. It would have been a dog-pile had you suggested throwing a V8 into a true 993.....and these days with 993 pricing you'd be a bit more than the normal nuts to do it if that were the case.

Do some searching (see link at bottom of my post for help) and you'll find a couple of engine swap or replacement threads....but not a lot. You will do a lot of custom fabrication and end up with a car that you can never sell for anything near what you've got into it, nor what it would bring in a stock form. As well, it will take you many months/years to sell, since any buyer would have to be another "project" type. But I'm sure you know this already. Carry on with enthusiasm and enjoy the project!

Where's Mark...this looks like what he is REALLY looking for.

Mark in Baltimore

You a bad man.

jleventer

Thanks for the kind words!! I figured this was a place with mostly purists especially stumbling on a page where I found people talking about replacing as much as an older sticker under a hood to the same German original one lol... Kinda extreme haha. But ya vision is to have a V8 Porsche even if it isn't a true 993 just to stand out from the crowd. I know my money's going down the drain but it's a car im planning to keep

Little update as she sits waiting for tranny rebuild and engine parts to come in. Anyone have any suggestions for suspension and wheels?

bobbyp

Is that a wrap or is it paint? Great color.

kjr914

Do a search on suspension since its a hot topic. Bilstein HD or PSS-9 ....err, wait, if this is still a 1975 underneath, I'd consult with the folks on the earlier 911 section of RL, where you'll find torsion bar help.

Wheels....you are riding on one of the best looking wheels available for a 993. Other options: MY02, the new Fuchs, or many more if you want the more custom look and "busier" wheels...that are harder to clean.

jleventer

It's paint but since I run a liquid wrap company im planning to make it many many colors once it's complete!
