Well damn. Decisions need to be made but unless you have to I'd hold onto it. It probably one of the better executed builds on here. Perfect blend of form and function. If someone picks this up they will score big.

 

Wait, what?!? You can't leave! Unless you are getting a much cooler car that will make you smile more than this one... The grass is always greener... until it isn't.

 

I will give you $996 for it.

 

There doesn't seem to be anything on the catalog about a smaller steering wheel, but the RS version (M004) could be it. It's available for $3500 from Auto Atlanta.

 

Thanks for the kinds comments ..

Don't have to sell it but I'm looking to upgrade and I'd hate for this car to sit outside or worse to be driven less than it already is.

 

still not full committed yet but looking at options

 

HA.. funny guy LOL

 

Looking through your list, it looks like you and I have done similar mods to our cars.
I can't imagine getting rid of mine now.
Not because of the money spent, but because it feels like the perfect car to me now.

 

Well, since it is a 996 and the IMS issues, ugly headlight, headlight switch always bad, crappy shifter, bore scoring potential, most hated 911, black wheels, Boxter parts all over it, and then you put those black wheels on it...I will raise the $996 offer to $1,996...and can clear the garage in a day...
You have made a fantastic car...I very much appreciate the time and effort you have invested in show casing your build...You have helped me, and I am sure others immeasurably...Thanks again...

PS: When are you going to tell us what our next projects will be?

 

Justin saw my car the other day and realized our town was just too small for 2 996’s. This, after more than a year without crossing paths in a town of about 40,000.

 

i agree as it's a great driver car.. Just looking for something more i guess.
