BRAN's - 986 - Seal Gray Anatomy

[BRAN]

Porsche Boxsters are history now!
Only ones available: Cayman GT4 RS and Spyder RS.
Which leads me to the most versatile Porsche ever created: The Boxster 986.
Total confusion:


The 4 seasons Boxster Spyder Speedster Cayman

Yep, sad day when you can no longer buy a new Boxster with a combustion engine.

I want that tartarn PORSCHE decal so bad My golden classic side decals look so boooooring suddenly

Deleted the lower front decals, installed a camera underneath the license plate, AND sealed the new blinker cut outs. When the eyes are getting old, you need to install new ones



But I still need a 360° dash cam solution, JUST IN CASE

A new project on the horizon! A found by chance two interesting things, which I always wanted, ever since i got my 996 instrument cluster:

1.) That instrument cluster had a broken clock shaft/knob from the beginning and was declared defective. And Porsche offers no replacement. So I created a workaround, which worked "okay".
And then this headline caught my attention: "Finally sort out that annoying broken trip or dimmer knob on your 996 or 986 Boxster!"


2.) I always wanted to individualize my center tachometer gauge face, but could not find ANY I liked.
And then I stumbled across "gaugefaces" and we created the following retro inspired, but modern Porsche 911 looking face together:


So I have 2 good reasons to tackle that instrument cluster job. Not really looking forward to it, as it is a fiddly job.

That should be an interesting result

It resembles the 911S/T tachometer a bit, the classic dark green from 356 and early 911 (instead of the lighter 911S/T green),
the number font stays original 996 with original orange ticks instead of read ones...and a "subtle" BRAN logo
