Wow...having seen this car in person at the Motor 4 Toys meet before it was shipped East, I can't say I'm surprised.

Glad you are doing the work right...I hate half-assed ****

Go to ripoffreport.com and post up there and then also go on to every Porsche site and start talking on the 993 forums to pre warn all members of what's to come.

Wouldnt it be cheaper to take this guy to court, get your money back for the car. Buy a stock gt3 and apply whatever mods you were going to do to this car to it. Seems like its more money in the long run to fix a hacked up car

Wow, what a shady seller. I almost feel sorry enough to donate some parts to your cause.

You should save every piece of garbage coming off and ship it via freight right back to him.

ps, do not forget to change the hubs/wheel bearings with that much load I am sure they are shot as well.

Default I've got faith

As with any large purchase its about due diligence, can't say the seller is completely at fault.

This car has a ton of potential.

Beware naysayers, this thing will be back and badder than ever

All proceeds will obviously go to OP and I just want to help out in some way. I just recently joined as I've been lurking the tracking area since I recently put a MXG in my car for data acquisitions. Anyways, I just wanted to help.
