The camo looks great on it. How about some more pixs.

Love it!!! 2 thumbs up my man! Hopefully soon I will also be posting my build. A wide body 993 project with a 997 engine. Very cool to see projects that are outside of the box.

As always with air cooled chassis with water cooled transplants, love to see the coolant line plumbing and radiator solution.

Very cool. Did you get that car in Nashville/Franklin, TN? I think it is a Rennlister's car that got balled up on the interstate a few years ago. If so, I once drove that car to FTD (fastest time of the day) at an autocross back in 2003. After that I knew I had to get my own and ended up with an identical car a few months later.

I LOVE it, especially in Camo,...I would keep that paint scheme as its part of its "outlaw" personality.

Turbo'ed VR6 is no slouch in a light enough car, too.

I don't get it - I can't see the car in either picture - just a bunch of foliage...

And please if you want to hate on it, be my guest. It should be clear by looking at the car i give two ****s what people think so your crying will fall on deaf ears. The camo was a last minute change after loosing my brother last year. He was a huge outdoors man and i thought this was a good tribute. In the end im not sure how it will drive but if i don't like it, i take my motor/turbo kit and drop it in something else. Not to mention i'd have a slew of 993 parts to sell off and i think we all know what these parts are worth

That is the right attitude! I love 2.8 L VR6 engines. I had one in my GTi and in my Corrado SLC. They sound awesome too and are total workhorses. I can't imagine how cool it would be with a turbo.

Is it heavier than the air cooled 3,6 L engine normally in a 993?
