Thanks to everyone for all the great info, advice and feedback. I was very fortunate to ping a fellow RL before he posted his '96 C4S for sale and closed a very quick and easy deal locally. I've always wanted a white/black widebody 993, but thought I was dreaming.

It had some great upgrades already from the previous owners:

*updated suspension
*LWF and clutch
*fister IIIs
*valve guides replaced
*front/rear red seat belts
*C2S grill (which is one of my favorite mods)
*litronics
*every service record/doc since day one! (very impressive binder)

I've done some minor maintenance work and (a few) mods:

*oil change
*replaced the belts
*professionally detailed
*clear corners
*993 sport seats!
*refinished the set of 996 turbo twist wheels that were included in the deal

I look forward to meeting up with some fellow RLs soon. Until then, some pics from over the weekend after a nice wash.
Probably one of the most beautiful ones !!!

Congrats !

Perfect! You just can't beat the split grill look.

...it was that last photo of her rear-end that does it for me. So desirable. While I love my Polar Silver Narrow Body 993, pardon my extended stare at what is yours - as I imagine myself taking her on a date.
