The phone dial wheels don't add anything either.

The sum of the parts, as stated, sadly ruins the whole.
What's with the irregular tailpipe tips?

Somewhat easily fixed. New front fenders, lights, bumper cover, 996 T wheels, and steering wheel. Done.

Looks like a hack job to me. The condition of the center reflector and the broken left tail lamp speak volumes.

It's nearly there - almost as if, the builder thought, "hey guys, let's roll her outside and see how she looks" - "wheels....... we need some wheels.... hey bang on those old wheels we have in the corner; but jack up the suspension as they're going get peeled on the arches!!"

Work in progress��
