Hi Jcay, good luck with your build. It's taken me a year to blueprint my M97 3.8S to 4.1 using custom parts. But what you are doing here is even more elaborate. Don't be discouraged with setbacks. I've had plenty of those, yet they come and go.

 

^ Thanks!

Insurance is FINALLY all sorted out. Looking for a car for serious now. I was thinking Matte-White was the way to go, as this car will see a LOT of track time, and dark color are not cool (temperature), but I have seen two matte white cars in person recently and I was not very impressed. Matte Silver...? hmm

Here are some pics of my new awesome GT3 Drexler LSD to tie you guys over:

 

SMH that I missed this EPIC thread. Subscribed!

 

Are you considering a 987.2 car at all? Or just the 987.1 due to costs? Either way, I think a Boxster Spyder style front would be cool.

For paint, I think GT Silver Metallic with Cayman R style stripes would look good. For matte paints, I agree matte silver would be awesome.

 

Say NO to stripes!

997.2 GT3 Front (and flared fenders and headlights)

 

Any updates?

 

Yes indeed!!

I've been busy sourcing all carbon fiber body parts for my project:

997.2 GT3 Cup bumper in CF:


These GT3 R fenders in CF will (if I can convince my contact to do it) be fitted with the Cup fenders. The R (at 2" wide) is too agressive.

This is getting exciting again!!!

Just doors, roof and rear fenders (this will be the tricky one) to go!

 

This is going to be one SICK project! Don't be scarce, post whore away on this one

 

Awesome thread and awesome build... Hope you find yourself another Cayman and get back on track with the car!

 

agreed, the more the better!
