Talking Convert C2 to C4 (noob, please help) + wide body ?

I searched butit seems that most want togo the other way, C4 to C2!

I stumbled upon a C2 chassis with no drivetrain and was considering building it into a daily driver for the wifey!

Not new to Porsches by any means. Currently have 3 and been building custom cars and bikes for decades.

Just curious if there are actual chassis differences? That would prevent making an AWD car? (obviously finding the front diff, and AWD gear box set up are given)



Also, options for the Widebody conversion? (chassis is a cab)

Thanks for entertaining the noob questions! I will search where I can, just need a little direction. (links?)

Shell is basically the same, but the only feasible way is to find a wrecked C4 and transplant everything.
Too many minute differences.

Wide body can be done easily. Or very complicated. Depends how much you want (suspension swap vs spacers, brakes, wheels).

Hell, that's not hard enough. Make sure that the donor has the trans you don't want, just to make things interesting
