Go broke? Get Divorced? Those would be my options.

Ok,Heres my freebie to the project.Its a fiberglass turbo front end.If your going to build it I'll throw it your way.

Appears to be a 944 front bumper... Not sure what it would do on a 997...

In reply to Maroon92: I was told it came off a 91 911.the lights wrap all around the bumper,But I could be wrong.It look like a perfect fit for my 911 just never put it on.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I could see that being a 964 bumper. Doesn't look stock, but possibly.

Still not sure what it would do on a 997 though.

Your right,my bad I thought it was an older body.Its hard to tell with no skin.

Pour an endless supply of money into it and get torched in PCA?

make it a multi-multi-multi year project so you can bring it up to speed with what it should be and do what should be done with it:race.

That would bolt right on my 964 project were you feeling generous to all of GRM :)

the real question should be "what DON'T you do with a Porsche 997 GT3 tub?"

Yes you can have it.I picked it up at the last Turkey rod run at Daytona.The guy said make me an offer I said 1 buck he said sold.lol

No fenders at all, sort of Baja bug looking for rallycross. maybe just shove some sort of chenoworth suspension under it.

SWEET! I'll go $25 on top of the shipping just so you can have a decent beer on me if you are serious.

You got mail.

I love this forum.

I would like to thank Grassroots for updating their Facebook status with this thread! Lots of interesting posts, I like the speed boat one haha

How much would a totaled street version of that car cost? Take the suspension and steering parts from it and sell the rest, and put a LSX or subaru engine in, and fiberglass bumpers, doors and fenders. Still probably not that cheap, but it would be a lot cheaper than buying what that car originally was. lol

That was my favorite, too.

I like this idea. Put the engine somewhere smart.

Wouldnt something like that be the same too? Sure a lot cheaper. :P

Here's what I'd do...

I promised my daughter I'd build her a 935 out of a 911 shell. Lost my job and all that and haven't been on my feet enough to really make it come to fruition. If it were me, I'd go with the Renegade Hybrid's LS swap and make a super awesome DD out of it. I'd throw all the big wide flares and all that on it and hand it to my daughter to drive back & forth to school in. LOL

Again, that's me. Your mileage may vary, not all results typical, no purchase necessary. BTW, how and where did you score that dude?

Whatever you do will be cool, you got it for free.
