996 to 996RS ALMS clone conversion

Here are a few pictures of a project in progress we have been working on for a client from Arkansas.

Car was shipped to GMG and we are building a RS clone from a 99 -996.

The goal was to build a fun reliable track car that could hang with GT3's.


Just goes to show with some careful planning a 996 can have a very fun and fast second life.


Enjoy!


I will post more pics as we continue on the project for now enjoy.



Genuine Porsche Motorsport body parts installed - no cage yet.






At our paint shop with cage installed and roof panel removed.

Ready to have the interior sprayed:





In the booth ready for paint- new roof panel installed NON SUNROOF.





Painted and CUP car style cage installed- cage was fabricated in house at GMG.






After paint awaiting more work.

Fabryce:

Any updates? More pics? What will it take to hang with the GT3? I assume you're going to get rid of the 3.4L? Very curious about this project. Looks great so far.
