Face lifting and refreshing an older chassis is nothing new to automobile customization. Hot Rodders have been doing it, sport compact tuners are all over it and even European classics are often restored to immaculate conditions for show purposes. None of this is new, but the story behind this Porsche 996 is a tad more interesting – mostly due to its starting price, the process and the end result.
