Google WP0CA2993VS340990 and you will find tons of listings.

Odd stuff going on with that serial #, it started life as a C4 narrow body 6 speed.

Here it is a couple of years ago, before a crash, with a red interior being sold as a manual trans turbo cab narrow body for $61,900

is it posible that it the same car as that nb turbo? as it has all different. as sa carfax says it is carrer 2/4 when it was bought,

is it so easy to replace the interior and gearbox, engine and convert it from rwd to awd car?

JPP

Highly unlikely. I think what you see is what you get .. a standard Carrera 2/tiptronic that has had a widebody conversion done to it at some point. If the rear quarters and turbo longitudinal sills were put on correctly, using all the correct under structure, then you will have no problems, if they aren't attached correctly and have no structural under supports, then you will have a LOT of expensive parts to buy and re-work ahead of you in the rear as well as the front.

Ok, thx for the answers,

this is my first porsche and i have no idea what is need for this turbo look kit and what parts are need to suport it,

any way , lets start with the front,

are the front fender diferent for nb and wb? maybe you can tell is this xenon head lamp or normal? as i need a second one,

maybe you know any 993 breaker who could supply the main missing parts in the front,

i have the 993 us spec bumper near my home wich i could buy for 250 euros, with bouth spliters

or it would be right to go with the turbo or euro bumper? and again are they the same?

im sorry im realy new to porsches just a week or so and just from pictures

^^^ Since the car has already been widened to Turbo specs in the rear and the longitudinal sills, you really should put back a Turbo front bumper, not a narrow body, it wouldn't look right. The front fenders are the same as standard but the Turbo requires extensions to be added at the bottom where they meet the sill:




Here are the factory Turbo rear quarter supports that are welded onto the bottom of the B pillar and longitudinal inner structure:





Here is the extended Turbo rear quarter closeouts that support the rear fenders .. If you don't have them already, you will also need the longer/wider Turbo tube brackets that connect to the inner fender and extend down inside the bumper, they are missing from these photos ..

thx for the photos, and info m you are realy helping me )

but if the car hadn't had the supporting brackets and other stuff, the fenders would look that straight and matched with rear bumper and so? right or the paint would be cracked, right?

JPP

^^^ On my car, the paint and body metal was cracked all around where the rear quarters meet the bulkhead under the convertible top at the back. If you pulled up the canvas and looked at the seams, it was obvious. The car was literally twisting and tearing itself apart .. but most of that was because of the missing longitudinal supports at the B pillar base and the bodyshop had destroyed the factory welds inside the sill when they removed the narrow body covers and didn't re-weld them properly.
Also, on my car, they didn't replace the fender closeouts, the just bent the brackets up and re-drilled new holes so the entire closeout was angled up .. and they just re-bent the bumper brackets by hand and re-drilled the ends with bigger oval holes .. it was a mess.

JPP

^^^ Oh .. and none of the welding or seams were coated with etching primer, or any kind of protective coatings at all .. and this was done at the Porsche dealer in Beverly Hills!!

ohh, intersting,

i will post the pictuers as i get the car, and let you know how it looks under the skin.

for the front bumper, should i get the used turbo one or it ok to get a new fiberglass?

will this gt2 bumper would be right for my car? ( just i want to get the car look right)

or its just the lips gt2 style?

JPP

^^No, that's just a standard carrera narrow body bumper with an Aerokit II splitter. You really should buy a real factory Turbo bumper .. euro spec since your in Latvia .. you don't want those ugly U.S. bumperettes on the front .. the euro Turbo bumpers are so much better than ours :-)
P.S. thanks for the picture Mike! She was a beauty ..

Anyway, I'd just look for one on German eBay or better yet, U.K. eBay .. their prices are better. Isn't there a BIG Porsche dismantler in Poland?

JPP

^^^BTW .. the Turbo bumper is one-piece, the splitters don't come off so you get the entire bumper without having to buy any extra stuff ..

RoDeO_993

i will check the poland, the polisch people are hard to work with but you can get great deals,

any way

thx thx thx for the info,

Hey, your welcome my friend. I gotta tell you, you have a LOT of guts and ambition taking this project on but I suspect you have the will and tenacity to do a good job.

You should also email or pm RP993 (Arpad) .. he's in Budapest and knows a LOT about 993 bodywork and where to find parts in europe.

RoDeO_993

maybe this is a good option or not ?
