I would go for a Rally (not Dakar.. just rally car). And something that could be reversible as some day it will be desired possibly. And would put film with a clear color (white, or other) covering the original black.

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Great idea, I like the reversibility concept too, so make it all bolt on and keep original parts crated with the car. Clear film is the minimum, offroading with metallic black Porsche paint, which is notoriously soft/chippy would be a disaster! Cheers, Raj

Has to be safari inspired!! Can’t wait to follow this exciting project.

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Thanks so much for the input, really appreciate it! Raj

[@jimgraves665]

Option #3 for sure. The one you would enjoy the most.

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Thanks Jim, a go anywhere 4wd 911 Turbo... Not worry about potholes and unmade or ripped up roads. It does sound appealing! Raj

After 24 hours of watching your video and thinking about the variations of reincarnation cars possible.
I wish you good luck with what you choose.
For me personally I would like to see the car get a standard rebuild converting to manual gearbox very interesting to the Porsche Purists.👍

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Thanks Kevin for giving this careful thought, that would be interesting, something that is possible to do as well. I will look into this idea too, as this is not just a normal 997.1 Turbo... Many thanks! Raj

Nice idea! Maybe if the engine assembly costs are too much! Cheers, Raj

[@stevedavies497]

have you thought about going Dakar electric ???

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

I have but I love the original twin turbo Mezger too much! Raj

[@oldbill98]

Sounds exciting, if you have the resources 😉. I like the idea of the Rally car, especially if you can get some use from that. Unfortunately, I do not like the triple black. My least favourite colour combo and I would never buy. Sorry.

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Thanks for the idea and feedback. The paintwork is in great shape, so it will likely be best to vinyl wrap it or at least fit clear PPF film. Cheers, Raj

Go for off road version. Regards from Sweden

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Thanks so much for the input! I loved the Rothmans 959 in particular when it competed in the Dakar. Raj

Ruff recreation

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

Nice idea! I didn't realise there were 997 RUF out there but I have just looked them up and they look incredible! Thanks for the suggestion, Raj

[@kevinneary2283]

What happened to the original bulletproof engine?

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

All to be revealed in a future episode, full details will be shared. Thanks, Raj

[@chubba3]

V8 swap it LS3?

[@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE]

I haven't seen one of these in person yet but it seems like an epic conversion to carry out, thanks for the suggestion! Raj
