Building a Safari Porsche 996 911 (Episode 1)

Hey Y’all Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! 🙏 I created this with the sole intention of sharing my story and honestly, I just had fun making it! I had the footage lying around and thought, why not?! Anyways, thanks for checking it out! This is the story of how my dad and I transformed a 2001 Porsche 996 911 into a Safari build — complete with a suspension swap — and then road-tripped it back with my buddy Joe (@joemamaphoto). From wrenching in the garage to chasing miles on the open road, this project has been equal parts passion, family, and adventure. Thank you so much for watching my very first video and being part of this journey. 🙏 Stay tuned for Episode 2 — the story continues with the next phase of the build, and we left you with a cliffhanger unboxing of what’s coming next! 🚀 ⸻ Music featured in this video: • “Baba O’Riley” — The Who • “Tick Tock” — Hans Zimmer • “Plasma” — Dr. Gabba • “Money for Nothing” — Dire Straits ⸻ Special Thanks • My dad, Steve Distante, for teaching me and creating this project with me. • Goldcrest Motorsports for their expertise and support. • Joe (@joemamaphoto) for joining me on the road trip and capturing the moments. • And of course, everyone watching — your support means the world. ⸻ If you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe — more adventures with the 996 Safari build are on the way!
