I enjoyed the video. You've done more in two years than I have in 14 years of ownership. It's interesting how you took a different approach to some of the same "shortcomings" of the 986. For example, I also did a seat upgrade, but I used seats from a 996 Turbo and added full power, heat and memory. I used a 6-channel amp from a 996 cabriolet and you installed an aftermarket amp. (If I had to do it over again, I think I would have used an aftermarket amp too.)

Have you considered adding litronic headlights and a 2003 or 2004 top and frame? Those are two of my favorite upgrades.

I don't have a video, but here' a link to the upgrades I've made: De-and Changed Some Interior Items
