That's bananas Doc! Now that's dedication! Nice results, though
what?!? You dropped $23,430 on this project?

that's.... uh.... let's just say you could have bought a low mileage 987 for that.... won't say how I know, but I own a low mileage (50,000 miles) 987

it's beautiful, but two boxsters are better than one, right? especially when one is the newer model?

Yeah, but he has something that is original to him.
I understand because I'm going down this same route.

A low mileage 987 won't win him any awards like he posted either

And this is why I will never upgrade even if I had the money.

True, I did spend quite a lot for the project. But its something I've always wanted to do. I don't particularly care for the 987 as compared to the 986. Just something about the 986 that I love so much. To each is own

In the next few weeks I will be doing the IMS, Clutch and RMS. As well installing a center radiator.

Then its time to install the Super Charger. So she drives how she looks!
