Hello, my name is John, living in oakland, ca. I am a longtime car guy (42yo) mostly 80's bmers and 70s datsuns, but always loved the front engined porsche's. Well I saw an ad on craiglist "1993 porsche 968 for 10k" with no pic. So since it was a few blocks from my home, l went and looked at it even though i didnt have 10k. It was at a body shop, where it had been abandoned, a 1993 968 cab with tiptronic. out of reg since 2006.
Because it is what i tend to do, I bought it for 5k and drove it home. Its now a few months later and I have paid the reg up to date, converted it to 5 speed with a tranny out of an s2, put in koni sport shocks, did full motor tune, 17" staggered boxster wheels, rsbarn chip and k&n. Its still a little rough cosmetically, but presents well from 5 yards. oh and i had to fix the power top, what a pia!!!
Next is cosmetics. I want to do that homemade rs style front end like on the RL.
Ill have to say: this is a great effin car!!!!! reallt really really a great car. cant believe these wern't more popular????? anyways, there ya go.
