Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

This 1999 996 Cab was converted to a 997 Turbo body using factory parts. Looks like it turned out pretty nice! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_rdc=1&item=180396843021&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fmotors.shop.ebay.com%3A80%2F__%3F_ from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm39%26_nkw%3D180396843021%2 6_fvi%3D1&viewitem=

POST 2Original post

can`t understand why anybody would bother doing this - 996 is as if not better looking than a 997 any day

POST 3Original post

Nice conversion from several feet away. It's still a poser.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
