Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys I am new to this forum and have used Pelican to maintain and upgrade our Mercedes GL, C and BMW 328I X-DRIVE and M5. My question is I have the option to buy a 2002 Carrera c4 body shell for next to nothing. I plan on buying a wrecked 996 or 997 and rebuilding it. Will major body/suspension/floor fit between c2 and c4's? I do realize that the front body structure/suspension is different but other items? This is far from my first "builder" but is my first Porsche builder. My bucket list item, the above cars are all my wife's and kids.

POST 2Original post

The C2 is a narrow body car with rear wheel drive only. The C4 is a wide body, all wheel drive car and is basically considered a "turbo-look" model without the turbo engine. Some components are inter-changeable but the rear body of the car, the brakes and the suspension are the real difference between the two. Apart from the turbo, the C4 body wise has a lot in common with the GT3 as well. I suggest if you are not a subscriber, i would start getting "Excellence" magazine. It is a great source of info regarding the Porsche lineup and they just released their 2020 Porsche Buyers Guide which answer some of your questions. I hope that helps and good luck. I admire people with the skills to do this kind of work.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for the great info. I did see a video of a gentleman using the rear wheel arches of a wreck to widen his c2 last night. I think I shall buy the parts shell just in case.
