So a brief overview of the current status, to be detailed with some pictures during the coming weeks / months. I decided to split the project in two major parts;
1. Make the car driveable and solid. Swap the gearbox
2. Do the engine swap

Part 1 is starting to near completion. Work done so far (in no particular order)
- Fixed AOS of the engine
- Replaced clutch
- Fitted G87.21 gearbox
- Coupled some 987 Cayman S driveshafts to it
- Used 987 wheel carriers to fit these driveshafts.
- New brake discs and pads to suit
- Refreshed rear suspension (M030 springs, Bilstein B6 struts, strut mount, control and track arms)
- Removed AC (compressor, all lines, condensors. evaporator is still in)
- Replaced PCM by simple radio, CD changer removed
- Radio and Clima moved up. Bottom is now clear, trying to find console delete kit to cover it up nicely.
- Aftermarket alarm removed (what a pain)
- Old phone carkit removed
- 997 Shifter mounted
- M030 springs and B8 struts at the front
- Fixing damage on drivers side front (mainly air channel damage, lost fasteners etc.)
- Replacing radiator vent lines (dripping)
- Replaced cooling fan (wasn't functional anymore)
- Fixing front water drains, both were blocked of which one with glass. New grommets to go in.

Left to do for part 1:
- Build the front-end of the car back together (waiting for correct new fasteners and water drain stuff)
- Finish last damaged wires for radio (antenna cable is one of them)
- Put the final interior parts back together.
- Fit the exhaust. Used aftermarket one going in which just clears the longer gearbox, need to adapt the U-bends and fab a mount to the gearbox.
- Finalize rear and last engine compartment parts (fan is dangling etc.)
- Get it aligned and inspected.
- New front tyres.
