Default buying a 993 shell?
sort of in the market for a 993 shell, normal Carrera. manual

was wondering, what are some things to watch out for on these cars when looking? anything funny or specific areas to look at?

If you find a pair, let me know.

I’d love to resurrect an early ‘95 one day.

Why would there be a 993 shell for sale unless it's crashed? Look out for bad crash repairs!

One just sold on eBay, victim of an engine fire. I was initially tempted but then got spooked by the rabbit hole once I started adding up my wish list.
