Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll have more updates to post as soon as I have some time to sit in front of the computer.

Been making some good progress lately. The wheels came in so I was able to mount some NT01's on them and make the car a roller (temporarily) to verify tire/wheel fitment with the quarter panels and suspension. I need to add some 8mm spacers on the rear so I can lower the back end of the car to a more appropriate ride height, but otherwise everything fits great so the next step is to start painting stuff.

Here is a teaser pic of the car on the ground for the first time in almost a year, and the Racepak dash that I mounted in place of the stock gauge pod.

I love that green you use. I saw it on another of your boxster builds. Looks great.

Am I just seeing things or is it likely that those top bars of the cage will interfere with that custom roof scoop's airflow? I figure that scoop is closed off from the cabin, but the cage seems almost too high above the windshield line from these shots. But it could just be me.

The roof scoop is seperate from the "hard top" and the rest of the interior. The bars from the cage are all within the hard top itself. I build the cages to get as much head room as possible which means going up into the hard tops as far as possible.
