What fun!
Take an accident damaged Boxster and a £50 Magenta Tarragon shell - whatever one of those is and start having some fun

Pity the Boxster wheelbase @ 2410mm is longer than the 904 wheelbase @ 2300!
Does this 904 have a flat fan engine? Round fan sized hole in the rear body cover is not normal?

I think the £50 part was the deciding factor

Well, if it has a six (or eight...), then yes it is.

I'm sure Bill (Kirklands904) would build you a 2410mm set of 904FF panels if you asked him nicely!
That would probably be a 904EFF, where E stands for extended and the last F is still for fake.
Cheers!

No worries... just chop 110mm out the middle of the Boxter chassis
