Lambo doors belong on Lambos. Chrome wheels belong on pimped out Caddys. 993TT motors belong on cars that can handle them. Thez carz r 'bout tha drivin' not 'bout tha pimpin'.
Seriously though, you may want to test drive a real 993 to understand what these cars are truly all about. GL and welcome.

I searched with TinEye to find other instances of the OP's pics, but turned up nothing. Thread does have a trollish flavor though, for sure. That said, I love the color

Whats wrong with a modified Porsche the original Porsche was a modified VW after all.
Before you diz my ride keep in mind I only paid $10K cash for it...pretty cheap for a 911...and a real 993TT costs over $60K so I think I did OK. Tha paint job alone cost $6000...then $8000 worth of interior and 993TT parts at LAPD and he spent $1000 just to get it passed smog. All in all he spend over 20 Gs on it besides the car itself an I got papers for all of it.
And Lambo doors and chrome rimz are part of tha SoCal car seen so try to be open minded...get lots of stares and complements on my 911 here in LA.

I can't believe he even shaved the gutters. Great deal for 10K. Drop a WRX motor in it.

Woah, woah woah, lets think back on our first porsche examples and we may not be far off the mark he's set!
This is obviously a younger fellow who is under the presumption that if you have the lions share of SHOW you likely don't need the GO!
His only mistake is that 75% of these cars' is the GO and the show is just icing on the cake!
sorry to digress ,california is known for these horific updates from the eighties and early ninties but
this is just way wrong!!!

VCR? Thats old skool...I got a DVD playa in tha dash. Yeah a WRX swap is a good idea...anybody here done that? I will have to keep this engine for awhile till I get some more cash. How many HP does a stock '76 911 get?

OK so its not a real 993TT but Im making it into one and its my first 911. Tha dude that ownd it before me upgraded it with a 993TT body kit and real 993TT interior and other parts but left tha motor stock. Tha paint job is tight its Lambo orange all over and its got Lambo doors. It runs smooth and tha AC is cold but its very slow for a 911 and needs an upgrade but it will do for now.
How much moo la does a 993TT motor run so I can start savin up for it.

I think you should install a turbo subie engine.

I believe you've got a 1976 912E. Type 923 2.0L with 86 HP and 93 ft/lbs of torque, according to "Excellence was Expected." During roadtesting, C&D got a 0-60 time of 9.7s, while R&T got a time of 11.3. That's the bad. The good is that one websource said that 38MPG isn't that uncommon!
If you want to investigate the subbie conversion, just do a search for "porsche subaru conversion." Lots of stuff comes up. Here's a 914 with a subbie flat-6:

Or throw a V-8 in it:

For $20-25k you could buy a real nice 911. Or a nice 993.
(FYI, yours is neither)
What kind of suspension it has? Looks like TT brakes so maybe the suspension is up to par also but you need to have an upgraded suspension before you start dumping any kind of serious motor in there.
