Nice!  Always loved the 996, would love to find one and do the same, bit of restoration work to bring it  back to it's former glory.

when I say a bit of work, I mean a lot as in your situation.

Nice find and well done, It looks great!

Is it the one that wanktard in Waco was selling?

Damn, love it man..... question though...... how the fack did somebody manage to get it so nasty in just 12k miles? Keep up the awesome work, that has to feel great to throw your leg over.

Yup. He did good by us though. I can't really complain about anything.

Shit dude, I still question that. The bike has a bunch of carbon Fibre that I had/am gonna have to paint over cause it is completely damaged. I asked several shops and it was cheaper to buy the new part than to re-finish it. The black piece under the tank is a carbon fibre Corse airbox that I had to paint over due to the extent of the damage.

It appears that the bike was kept outside for a prolonged period of time without any care to it. If you look closely, you'll see that the tank doesn't exactly match the rest of the bodywork due to intense discoloration. I have polished it and refinished a lot, and that's the best I can do.

looking good, make sure you fix it up and actually ride the thing.. sure museum piece type bikes are good to look at but really a shame.

good to hear that you are painting over some stuff to make it look nice.  hope you actually get to ride that thing the way it should be and ride it a lot.

good luck.

I put over 800 miles on it the weekend I got it  If you've ever ridden a 996, you'll know that that is no small feat. 

None of my bikes are garage queens. Actually, I'm going to the track next weekend with the beast. The perfect track for it too!

Thanks for the compliments

That's a sharp looking bike.  I've always liked the Fila colors.

+1 a bike without stories is kinda sad to me..... by a painting if you want something to look at in the living room.
